Hey Cathy,
Have any of your friends seen my telascoping cane? I used it on Black Friday and I know, well thought, I brought it home. It is the only thing that fits in my little purse. Now I have to use a big purse.
No, I don't use my cane all the time. When I am with Dan I am holding oxygen and my purse and if I stray away from him I will pull his oxygen right off of him. So I go sighted guide with him. But I have to have a cane with me. Who knows when I will need it. I needed it black Friday.
