Embarrassed

  As i've explained before, i use my cane not so much so that i can walk today, but so that i can continue walking three days from now.
  It may not make sense, but it's so.  The pain adds up and i simply can't continue.
  After lunch tyesterday, i went to the drink machin for a refill.
  And left my cane at the table.
  The guys at the table beyond ours were staring at me.  i felt, rightly or wrongly, like they were thinking i was putting over a scam, since i obviously didn't need that cane.
