[Nfbj] Blindness and shemirat negiah

[LoriStay at aol.com]

I use a cane occasionally (support cane) if I have to walk long distances.  
 This means a mile or more.   However, I don't use it in the house.   It's 
easier to sit down if I get tired.   Not so easy on the walk to shul.   
Consequently, I don't get there very often.
