[Travelandtourism] Tips for traveling with my cane

[Jemal Powell]

Rona, with all due respect, if your disability is blindness only, then a wheelchair is not appropriate for you at all, and your sister was misguided for recommending a wheelchair for you.  I have been in situations where people try recommending a wheelchair for me and I politely turn them down, pointing out the fact that my only disability is blindness when I could otherwise walk.  The wheelchair should be reserved for those who can't walk.
