[nagdu] Balance without a guide dog

[Karyn & Thane]

I'm not Marsha either. I am no longer ambulatory but when I did use a cane 
many many years back, I was told to put it on the stronger side. For me I 
was impaired on both sides but not evenly.

I also wanted to point out that a number of people do use their guide dogs 
on the right side so some who need canes with a guide dog will in fact be 
using a cane on the left side. I have used both my dogs on the right in 
fact. Most who use a guide on the right do so either due to shoulders 
wearing out from years of guide dog use or secondary mobility disabilities 
where they are either too weak on the left side/ have mobility equipment 
that is controlled on the left side like I do (and no you would never want 
to be around me if that was switched to the right-- bumper car city!)
