Posted in How I'm Adapting

Bright eyes

Also… I’ve been to the local sight charities group today. For a chat over coffee and biccies.

Met alot of lovely new people and some familiar faces. (once I’d stared at them for abit 🤭)

Young, old and in between.

But… I’ve realised. I’m even trying to hide this… In a sight loss group! 🤷‍♀️

Don’t know if I’m just that used to trying to disguise it, it comes naturally, or if I’m just denying it all to myself. Like I won’t give in to it, as it just makes everything too real for me.

Tonight I’m going to listen to podcasts, or youtube programmes.

Make them all good for tomorrow.

So. If anyone messages me for few days, I’m sorry, I’m going to have to voicey you back instead of write anything.

Just wanted to update the blog before I give my poorly peepers a rest.

Sat inside with the bright artificial light. Stubbornly wouldn’t pop my sunglasses on. There even were people there wearing sunglasses themselves. Me being me, sat there. Didn’t put them on until I went outside #standard

I’ve got light sensitivity and photophobia. So it’s my own fault.

Knew my eyes were struggling, but blimey, do they hurt now!

No… I don’t get it either!

An honest, warts & all sightloss blog about living with a rare genetic eye condition, Macular Dystrophy, Stargardt's Disease. To track how this progresses in myself. Hopefully help others & bring awareness. Let's see what happens next...
