I’m one of the lucky ones. I am partially sighted.When I first became type 2 diabetic when I was 59 years old, I was told that eventually I would go blind but fingers crossed, at 74 I can still read large clear print.
I had to give up my big choir and my knitting but manage to do my writing and am in the choir at the SRSB.
I am a bit scared at crossing busy roads but have found since I reluctantly started using my white stick a lot of people try to help. Especially giving you the priority seats on the tram.
I watch TV but can’t manage anything with subtitles. I’ve had laser treatment and horrid injections in my eyes but luckily at the moment only have to put one drop in each eye every night. And I only go to the hospital every six months.
Thanks June! Great to have another post from you. I was very reluctant to use my white stick as well. I still can't say it helps every time, but it does help a lot some days.
