[nfb-talk] walkers?

[Ray Foret Jr]

IF you could manage to hold on the walker with one hand, and put the wait of your other arm on the other side of it, you could actually mannage a cane reasonably well.  OF course, this is predicated on the assumtion that you will be able to hold on to the walker as I have described.

I'm considering it for around the house and longer distances possibly, but I am wondering if I could really use one in an unfamiliar environment.  Clearly using a cane with one would be out of the question because of holding on to the walker with both hands, but is there a way of doing sighted guide or something with one of them?  I suppose someone else could put their hand on the handle with me and guide me that way.  Does anyone have any experience wit using a walker?
