It's ok - happens a lot.
So many people pretend you don't exist when they see the dreaded cane.
Or they touch you without permission.
Or insist with handshakes, fist bumps, high fives or other body contact.
I try to be open about my eye limits.
But it feels often so odd when I don't wear a cane all the time.
