About a week ago I had a relatively minor operation on my knee. While this provides some definite set-backs for me- It gave me the opportunity to use a cane. For those of you who have not had this privilege, let me tell you it is quite a liberating experience. These are some of my observations:
- People are incredibely nice to me now. I feel like I own the place when I waltz in with my cane because people kindly move out of the way when I'm walking, give me concerned smiles, and always hold open doors for me.
- I can do no wrong. No matter what happens people give me the benefit of the doubt because I am "cripple"
- I get asked out. People must be attracted to the beauty of my cane. That or they feel bad for me. haha
- I get one of two reactions from people on campus when they see my cane. First, Some people ask if I can wave my cane around like President Hinckley and Second, they tell me I walk like the guy on House. Both were unexpected reactions- but enjoyable nonetheless.
