I have a few elderly neighbors who I don't know and who keep to themselves, so I don't feel comfortable approaching them to ask this, and was hoping someone here would know:
One of these women is obese (65+) and uses a cane some of the time. My question is, why would someone only need to use a cane part of the time, instead of daily?
Another one is 80+ and used a walker at least since I moved here about a year and 1/2 ago. She also has a major hunchback. Last summer, something happened to her and an ambulance came and then she had a live-in nursemaid for about a month. In the middle of the night, I heard her moaning and groaning, so she must've been in bad shape. Lo and behold, once the nursemaid left, the old woman has been out and about daily and walking on her own without a cane or walker and doing her own shopping and housework. She still has the hunchback. The question is, does anyone have any idea how she got to no longer needing her walker?

you must be very young yet.. when people age they can have alot of different health issues some days they feel good and other days they can barely move about... for example if you have sugar most days its under control and your fine but some days they may be shaky ect. maybe sometimes her back hurts and other days it doesnt... have you ever had the flu? or a cold? where you were puking or blowing your nose or needed coughdrops? well how come you dont need that klenex or cough drop every day? because each day is a new day and sometime you feel shitty and other days you dont...
