Hi David,

Yes, I must say that, the "feedback" from the NFB long cane seems
to me, far superior, especially now that I have one the proper
length!

Also, as I was saying before, it does seem lighter on the wrist if
I am going to be walking around quite a bit. I really notice that
since I will only use the heavier aluminum canes when I use the
folding type.

I think what I am going to do is compromise. When I am going to be
mostly up and around, I will probably go with the NFB rigid
fiberglass cane and when I am going to be sitting down a great deal
and not moving around much, I will go with a folding cane. Besides,
having more than one cane will keep me ever so fashionable!

Keepin' the faith!
