Letter about Sight Loss Course

I’ve received my letter from the sight course. So I’ve got a place on it.

So I’m going for a 2 day course on 31st March and then again on the 7th of April.

UPDATE:- This was cancelled due to one of the organisers having covid. Will be arranged at a later date.

I won’t let this define me. It’s scary. Probably putting far too much emphasis on this really, but for someone who still hides it from strangers, it’s a big step.

It made me upset.

I shouldn’t feel embarrassed I hold things upto my face. (depends what mood I’m in. Who I’m with) Stare at you for longer than I should trying to see your face, your eyes.

(I could write a blog posts about the eye thing. In fact I will…)

I shouldn’t but I do. Will this ever go away?

I want to be me.

Not this other hidden person who lives in blurry world.

Cut to me… doing a post that I made the teas for everyone and just helping other people out. Knowing me that’s probably true ☺

Anyway… Info in the letter include stuff to find out about in their days there are…

🟢 Eye health, emotional support.

🟢 Daily living skills and technology

🟢 Leisure opportunities within the district

🟢 Mobility, orientation and public transport

So they’re you go. Worst thing is, I’ve got to turn up as there are only 10 places.

I know me. ☺
