Hi Scott,
Here's a sightling's viewpoint. Long ago I refused to have a coffee table or a
rectangular dining table. I was constantly hitting my shins on the coffee
table and my hip on the dining table. It warn't fun! And I see! But nowadays
I'm moving a bit slower because of balance and physical problems. I liked the
suggestions I read from the various TABI members, all good ones. I'd go a
little bit slower if I were you and get that sweet and sighted wife of yours to
help as Blackjack suggested. And as he says, these are just my thoughts.

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
