Clare, I agree with Jim here. Loosing your sight in later life is very hard to
cope with. You say you have never seen and you cope in your world. When, like
me, you loose your sight at the age of 42 years, its frightening to say the
least. You have one world you no and cope with. We had one world we lived in
and coped with. Then suddenly we enter a whole new world of blindness and
nearly all we have learnt over the years has gone out of the window. You have
to start learning all over again like a new born baby. You have to change all
you knew for new ways of doing the simplest things. like eating, dressing.
moving around the house with other people in it. Its hard for them to because
they don't understand blindness and they have to learn. The list is endless.
And if you live alone like me and you want to stay independent you have to
learn how to use the cooker, washer and many other things in the kitchen.
Like you say Clare, Its hard for all of us. But were all different in so many
ways, there's no easy answers.
love Malcolm. xxx
Hi Jim, thank you so much for sharing this it's very much appreciated. I always
love hearing different points of view. I'm very happy I bought this important
subject up. I look forward to hearing others points of view on this matter. So
in a way it seems I do have an advantage as I have never known any different
with being totally blind from birth. This is my world and all I have ever
known. Love Clare
