[nabs-l] advice

[Katy Carroll]

Hi everyone,

I appreciate all the responses. I have been mulling them over.

I am one of those people who can get along fine without a cane, and so I
only use a cane when I am traveling somewhere new. I realize even balancing
my behavior brings it's own problems.

Thanks for the advice.

Kate
