Jennifer, I'd had to laugh reading your post. this year I'll be 62 and just last week in my back yard somehow got tangled up with our big pinic table and I put a real nice curve into my , long solid cane. Now I can go around corners much easier. well my sone stuck that curve in another crack or spacing in the stairs and put a different twist in it. as for reflective tape. I bought some bright reddish/ orange spray paint at Wallyworld/ walmart and then used the handy dandy duck tape leaving spaces and then sjprayed that sort of reflective paint all over. Lee
