Edit: I do know how to use the cane, I have been taught how already, its just the ridicule I'm getting in my town that has me questioning this.

I've been considering doing this because I'm having issues with falling off of curbs, into potholes, etc. I tend to be awake overnight and sleep during the day as a result of PTSD and so I will walk my service dog overnight. He isn't a guide dog and can't help much with that stuff. He assists me with PTSD and migraine response.

However my neighbors and other community members have previously made comments that I'm faking my vision issues as a result of me doing this.

We live in a small town type area where everyone knows everyone. So when they see me biking (on the sidewalk, and yes that's allowed here) to run errands during daylight when I can see better, because I can make out if a human is there and I'll pull over and let them pass and I can see cars fine when I'm crossing a street, and the bumps and potholes and issues and stuff aren't as bad because there's shock absorbers on my bike. But then at night they see me using my cane to walk around they accuse me of faking for attention. I had one say I must be walking down to the busier part of town to try to panhandle. A few say I must be faking the service dog too.

So is it really that rare to only need the cane at night? Is it okay to only use one at night? Should I not be using it?
