>I went to the dentist this morn and the girl who came out to get 
me said, take my arm so you won't have to use that thing."
>I asked her, all the time smiling, if you mean my cane, I will 
use it even if you hold my arm.  She was very embarrassed, which 
was my intention.  She kept apologizing.  I asked her if she 
tells others they can hold her arm so they don't have to use or 
wear their eye glasses.  She promised never to make that remark 
again.  I informed her that the cane was to help me find my way, 
not merely a thing.  Veronica
