[Blind-rollers] canes

[Holly Alonzo]

Thanjks everyone for the info.  I emailed my old O&M instructor and she
said that someone would have to come out and measure me.  That could
take a while, that is why I was asking.  I should have my chair in about
a week or so.  Getting a pronto M71 wish me luck.

Holly,

While I was at the Carroll Center, I experimented with this very thing.
To 
me, the longer the cane, the more space you can cover. When I was
outside, I 
used the longer cane, which was about fifty-six inches, and I used the 
shorter cane inside. Both my canes had a roller ball on them to make it 
easier to move the cane across surfaces.

I use '58 though somewhere between 60 and 65 is best. I find carbon
fiber canes best for my hand strength (I have CP) but switched to
aluminum because they're a little more durable.
