I was excited, but I found myself thinking a lot about how to pack, what would happen on trips where I had to take dog food, and thins like that, and thought of the differences in how I would do things. I did not grieve it, I had a few doubts. I had used a cane for 25 years and was a fairly competent cane user, but I was having problems with my arm and hand and feared I would lose my ability to work on the computer and play the organ, so I switched. I wonder why you did.

>> Hi all,
>> I just need to know if what I'm feeling is normal? I go for training in just under a month, and last night it really seemed to hit that soon, I won't be using my cane much and that I will have a dog.  And I found myself getting quite emotional about it all...
>> I mean, I'd used a cane for 30 years, and am wondering how I'm meant to suddenly trust a dog and know where I'm going with no land marks etc? I know it'll be fine but somehow I almost feel like I'm going through some sort of strange grieving process.  And I'd never had a dog before, and even though I know they will teach me all I need to know, I just find myself wondering if I'm going to be cut out for the job at hand.
