About 3.5 years ago I was diagnosed as 'legally blind'. 'Confronting' is a nice way of putting it. A head-on high speed collision of thoughts and emotions is what really happened and still does at times. Someone once said, "You will get used to this." I wonder when this will happen.

 There is a risk factor with anything a 'sight-impaired' person does...or tries to do. The trick is in knowing what is an acceptable risk and what is not. Experience is my most effective life-skills teacher. Learning how to accept what I can and can no longer do, is a long drawn-out series of lessons. Some take a long time learning. I think I accept the principle that I have significant limits. Accepting how I live with this reality every day and night is a very different thing. Sight related injuries tell me how far along this pot-holed road I've come. Patient acceptance-I'm not there yet.
