You are probably a quick mover and,
yes,
being blind, as well,
does require some preplanning if you are to maintain that youthful and vigorous
vitality if spirit you possess!
I came to that place on the road of life and decided the only way to nip it
completely in the bud,
is to simply, slow down in vital environments like the home where things can
sometime be fragile to encounter physically.
I'm sure some of us will have some mapping strategies that work just as well,
but,
speaking from experience,
I never run in to anything anymore around the house.

Subject: [tabi] Avoiding Corners
I just had a close encounter with a sharp corner within my house which
resulted in a laceration, Band-Aid, and icepack. I have to admit to being lazy
and not trailing along another wall for guidance but I just didn't feel like
walking around so restricted.
I'd like to know what recommendations anyone has to help avoid these
dangerous obstacles in my home. I was thinking of some way to mark the floor
around sharp corners to properly indicate I'm within a dangerous spot but I
couldn't think of anything which would work. Alternately, I'd like to know if
anyone has recommendations on how I can find some attractive barrier, like some
cushioning, to put on those corners which would make them not so sharp and
dangerous if I do encounter them unexpectedly.
I appreciate all recommendations as I'm really tired of worrying about
scarring my face on unexpected household accidents. Thanks!
Scott
