Don't be afraid to carry the cane around just-in-case. Yes, you will feel foolish, but it is better to have it on hand and not deend it than to need it and not have it. Don't fall into a trap, though, of using it simply because it's on hand. You can develop some poor posture and gait habits from over-reliance.
Best of luck.
