Who Says a Cane can't be Fashionably Fabulous

So. I have decided to make walking canes, wheel chairs and walking assistance tools Fabulous!

 I first thought of this during my last relapse. Before the relapse, I planned a trip to Miami, Florida. I have never been to Miami and had already bought my plane ticket so; I was determined to get to Miami; relapse or no relapse. EVEN IF IT MEANT LIMPING IN A BIKINI, WITH A CANE, ON THE BEACH! (lol)

 (I've learned, you have to laugh at yourself when you have MS) 

 I was blessed to be well enough to walk without assistance before the trip but it got me thinking. If I had to use a cane; what kind would I use? Would I use those plain black ones, or those silver ones, the wooden ones? Would I use a Walker? During the relapse unfortunately I had to be pushed in a wheelchair part of the time but I thought; if I needed a wheelchair permanently, would I use this same old boring one? The answer to these questions was heck no! I still need to be “Fab”. So I researched canes on Amazon and behold bejeweled, animal print, and colorful canes!

Fabulous Walking Cane!

Check these out that I found on Google

 I could have been fabulous with a cane, on the beach, in a bikini if need be!  Believe it or not there are a few celebrities who have used canes as accessories. Here is a photo of Rihanna with a cane and on the right Brooke Shields!

 She even has a music video “You Da One” where she has a cane. Back in the day pimps use to have canes a part of their outfit like they were watches or something!

Here's the video "You Da One" before watching :Remember: it's BAD Gal Ri Ri lol

I researched bejeweled wheelchairs unfortunately, I did not find any. However! That does not mean we can’t make them exist! So, I have a love affair with hot glue guns and hot glue guns love rhinestones! If you want to jazz up your wheelchair or customize your own cane or walker instead of buying one already bejeweled; just get some rhinestones from Wal-Mart or Amazon Rhinestones , a hot glue gun also from Walmart or a dollar store, plug it up and get to work!

 It’s fun and inexpensive. You don’t have to stop at rhinestones either! What about ribbon, fabric, studs or buttons? The sky is the limit. Go where ever your imagination takes you! If you have fine motor skill problems with your hands; I suggest you get a friend or family member help you with your project though. I would hate if you burned yourselves.

Last but not least. Do not be ashamed of your MS! Do not ashamed if you need assistance! Remember you have The Fabulous Life With MS! MS does not have you! 

PS: I want to start some thing called Fabulous Friday! Every Friday I would like you all to comment on any post and tell me and our brothers and sisters in MS how you will be Fabulous the weekend or the following week. Even if you don't have MS and you just support the people fighting it! Tell us all about it! :)
