I'm glad we're able to help and reassure you, @Minstrel .
If you are starting to forget your crutch, you are probably close to not needing it in the house. But don't give it up yet when you are out of doors.
I graduated from one crutch to a cane/walking stick and kept using that for at least another month. I still kept the cane in my car and used it when I was going to be in a crowd, or when the ground was likely to be wet or slippery.
You should continue to use a walking aid until you can walk naturally with a good gait, and it's always better to use a walking aid than to have a fall.
