My Father has been disabled for some time. He has progressed from using a cane to get around to now needing a wheelchair(mostly). When I read that Joe needed a cane but was getting the runaround I thought to myself, "self, you can do something to help" Unfortunately it did not turn out as planned. I had remembered(wrongly) that Dad had a plethora of canes that he no longer used and I could send them to Joe to help out. I could have sworn that he had at least a dozen to pick from.
When I actually got to his house(Dad's), I discovered I was woefully wrong. There were only two that were available, and one of them was missing a part. A very important part. But I dutifully packed them up and sent them to Joe, who received them and thanked me profusely.
Anyway, I took a couple of pictures of the canes to give you an idea of what I sent and also to hopefully cheer up Joe a little bit in his current condition:
forgive my picture taking ability, but hey, there's no toes!

Joe, here's to hoping you keep on getting better and better. I hope I helped in some small way, but if not, if you get better that's the only thing that counts.
If you want to know more about the pics, just ask.
Joe's friend,
John
