Orientation and Mobility Training

Today was my first cane lesson. I learned the proper way to hold and use the cane which takes some getting used to. I also learned that when I come to a corner that I must point the cane towards the middle of the intersection so that all of the cars going through knows that I cannot see.
I also saw some very nice drivers and a couple of rude drivers. My instructor Jim also told me of my final test. I have to call Allegan County Transportation to schedule a ride for myself and one of my girls to go to Wal-Mart. Once we get there I have to use my cane and walk my daughter to Subway to buy a pop. Doesn't that sound like fun? Yipee! (that was to sound sarcastically.)

Well, there will be more tomorrow but I must go because as I write this B is throwing a bucket of mismatched socks all over the floor!
