Anybody have to switch out their cane for a walker and at what point?

I have CRPS 1. 34M. Have had it for soon to be 21 years in my left leg. I walk with my cane on the left side since I also have it in my right arm and hand. Lately I’ve been going for walks to try to lose weight and my right leg seems to be done bearing the brunt of my weight for over two decades.

My doctor says it’s patellar tendinitis but it shakes when I drive and throbs when I brake. The cane is getting harder and harder to make work.

Idk how to use my walker and how do I get it out of the car every time? It doesn’t slide like a cane does so easily.

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts. Thanks guys 😊

When writing a multi-POV third person book, should you go the GOT/ASOIAF way?

I’ve been working on a historical fiction novel for the last six years. I’m on only my second draft and at first my chapters had titles but my beta readers found it confusing which character’s POV was when as it’s told from multiple.

I’m working on this draft and my draft 1.5 I had named each chapter similar to A Song of Ice and Fire and those beta readers read it much easier. But I wonder: is naming the chapter the name of the POV character something only Martin has done and it will be seen as a rip-off of that, different genre or not? Or is it one that’s commonly used?

Are there minor added scenes and cuts to the Disney+ ROTJ or am I going crazy?

I’m watching ROTJ for the first time in a while and when they get to Endor there’s a lot of just minor shots and scenes I feel like weren’t there before. Off the top of my head:

-the speeder bike chase Leia going higher on her bike than the trooper she’s chasing

-the early scenes with the Ewoks seem like there’s extra (mainly shots of the trio and Chewie and the droids walking up to the dead animal instead of being more cuts

-the Ewok purring on Han and then the Ewok rubbing between his legs right before he talks to Threepio

-when they trick the one stormtrooper left over there’s the shot showing them enter the bunker and Han shrugs and they all move forward. I don’t remember them showing this entrance at all.

I might just be going crazy. I might just not be remembering. And for someone who has several SW tatts and whose life has been forever altered by my love of the saga, it’s weird and embarrassing if they’re just the original cut that I don’t remember lol.

Perhaps strong in the Force am I, but not that strong 😉

34M with a lot of serious medical disorders. I have ocular migraines and so today I took a sample of NurTec given to me by my neurologist. I just noticed these random weirdly shaped rashes on the leg that has Complex Regional Pain Syndrome on it. Not raised and not itchy. Thoughts?
