At age 78, I'm probably in that category, but right now using a frame (walker) as a result of surgery in September, rather than a cane. Most people, even younger ones, who use frames bend over them, like the person in the illustration bends over the cane. I'm darned if I'll do that! For one thing, it means that you're looking more down than forward, and it just looks old, so it doesn't match the age of my attitudes. That's not for me until it's absolutely unavoidable, so I make the effort to adopt an upright posture as soon as I stand.

Oldi is Norwegian for Song and Dance Man, you've got your cane but are yet to put on your top hat, dust of you white tie and brush off your tails . Keep it up Terry and you are a shoe in [tap shoe] for the remake of A short Blast of Fred Astaire

It's better than thermal underwear, as Sid would attest.
