[nagdu] Balance without a guide dog

[Alyssa]

Hello list,
As I'm sure most of you know, I'm between dogs now. The weather patterns where I live are also not being consistent right now. This means my sinuses are causing headaches and putting fluid behind my ears. Both of these things are throwing my balance for a loop. I wouldn't be as concerned if I wasn't in college and constantly needing to cross streets, navigate uneven grounds, and the stairs. This happened to me at the last season change, but Sophie provided enough of a counterbalance to make me feel safe and relatively comfortable. Right now, I'm relying on a big strong guy friend to bare my weight and brace if I stumble. On a college campus, this looks quite wrong. I don't need anyone assuming anything about my recreational activities. *smiles* Have any of you had balance issues between dogs? If so, what did you do about this? Unfortunately I don't have an o and m instructor right now to give me any ideas so I'm turning to my other resources. I'm sorry this is so lengthy, but any help is certainly appreciated.
