meaning behind sparklecane

So I have a sparkly cane. I got just a tiny rose one at Walgreens before my surgery when I was already starting to lose my balance a bit and didn't know what I would need for after so I went ahead and got it. Originally I did get it to paint it with sparkles. This was totally perfect. If you are going to do something, do it all the way. I get more comments on my cane than anything. People think it is fun, it is fun. It takes the 'oh, isn't that sad to have a cane at her age' and makes it, well, sparkle. I never know how to answer that question people ask about "are you getting better?' So I will tell people that I am getting better every day but this is about as good as it is going to get folks. My life is different now. Not the adventure I thought I was going to take but an adventure none the less. Adjustment will be made, concessions given, both by me and for me (I hope). It is going to be fun ride, a different one than I started off. At times it will be a hard road, lately I have been feeling intensely lonely any more /
