Dont use the cane myself. Tried many times but failed badly! My foot does not fall straight, so I always go in the wrong direction. So I prefer to ask for help loud and clear... and have managed well. Though, maybe I may find greater freedom with a cane. Plan to try again! As far as impressions go, it all depends upon what you think of yourself! How confedent you are and feel, how much comfort you have found inside of you to accept the faults and shortcomings you can't get rid of. Remember, blind or not, everyone has good and not so good points. We just must try to improve what we can and accept what we can't change and go on. For example, I can hardly change the color of my skin or eyes for good! I cant change my hight but I can change my weight and posture, can change the way I cary myself and the way I dress and the way I behave and the way I eat! So just a small advice, just keep trying to evaluate yourself and see what all you would like to improve and work on those things and dont worry too much of the things that are stuck with you... like your disability! It is what you are able to and do contribute to this world that matters and not your disability or things like that! Preeti

I simply can't understand, what is it that the cane has got to do with impression? I don't like to use it because its bulky, my hands pain, and I don't like roaming on roads like this and figuring out whom to ask if I need help putting my hands up or something of that sort. I am very happy to take people's assistance for the overall purpose than finding that someone in the middle wherever I need assistance. I have seen both situations. I also have good and bad impression for users of canes, as some users are extremely smart in carrying themselves with cane, and people also have good and bad impressions of users like me who never use cane as some think that I am completely dependent and some think otherwise. Have more to say? Regards, -- Amar Jain.
