My Cane and I - A Memoir of a Disability (Hardcover)

My Cane and I: A Memoir of a Disability, by Tony Tripodi, a retired university professor, is a personal journey of one man's struggle in using a cane to ward off arthritis. He shares his fears and anxieties about old age and the perceptions that we have about cane users. Poignant, hilarious, tragi-comical, and amusing anecdotes are presented to depict human foibles in the cane world: the window washer who wishes to retire but can't stand his wife; the lady who had hip surgery, limps, and is proud she doesn't need to use a cane; an unexpected adventure with an acupuncturist; three men who call themselves the cane set; and many more real and imaginary episodes captured in brief vignettes.
