Summary
Why the Cane? is a personal memoir which recounts the true story of a man’s regaining a level of activity he thought would not be possible after a devastating injury. It chronicles his medical journey, the upheaval suffered by his family, and the counsel and support which shifted his focus and provided a framework to make thoughtful decisions for the long term.
Contrary to conventional thinking that graduating from use of a walking aid is a sign of progress, the author provides a strong testimony that using a cane for daily activities has enabled him to maintain a much more active lifestyle 30 years after nearly losing his leg. The book contains many practical suggestions and insights.
Critic reviews
