I think I'll stop getting the bus home when I'm carrying stuff, it's safer to walk.

I can relate. I do well taking the bus after I swim at the health club, but tonight I stopped at Target and bought a few things, including a heavy 6-pk of bottles of diet pepsi. Used my own shopping bag and it was a burden. I was awkward getting on the bus and got some looks of pity (particularly from a guy from my health club who can no longer swim). It was a short ride and I wondered how I would get up while carrying that bag (I also wore a backpack with my swim stuff). I carried the bag in the same hand as the cane and didn't use the cane except to put down on the street as I got off the bus.
The Targets in the city recently changed hours from closing at early 9pm to 11pm. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to shop in there tonight. I got out of the health club just before 10pm.
