Pictures of brown haired girl falling off kerb . Then with sad face
Every blumming time, especially when dark or not familiar with the street… Depth perception 😬 ☺
Visual impairment and kerbs
Happy new year ☺
Happy New year everyone ☺
This year it’s all about making visual memories for me, and to do and see the things I want to see as this does feel like a runaway train.
I also want to spend alot of time with people just because I worry I won’t remember their faces. Details are quite blurry now and have to stop myself doing the ‘starey’ thing.
As there isn’t a date or a timeline as docs can only give us an estimate which was 5 to 15 years from diagnosis for me.
I’m going into the year positive but also aware that the last few years my vision has declined.
It does usually plateau out after a period of decline I’ve been told so hopefully everything will be fine ☺
I’m still waiting to see the retinal specialist for my test results.

Hidden Disabilities Scheme – Sunflower lanyard
Whilst I’m not there yet, I do feel that maybe if I had a badge with a sunflower on and people knew about the scheme then they probably knew why when in supermarkets I’m holding a box or packet upto my face trying to read the details.
Or size labels and prices, right up to my face ☺.
Or my phone. I use Samsung huge font. So you can imagine the size of the text. And this only works in a few apps or phone functions, not them all.
Giving change in shops, I will thrust a note at them rather than count change unless there isn’t a queue.
I don’t usually take my readers out because I’m very protective of them as they are improving the sight I have at the moment although they don’t taken away those blank spots that have appeared.
So, if you see anyone with this logo, be it a badge or a lanyard as they will need time for whatever reason, to get around, need their personal space, or time to see what they are looking at.
So if you see me, picking items up and putting them back down, because it wasn’t what I thought it was, it’s all to do with being able to ‘see’ it, feel and touch.
Holding stuff close to my face. I\’m not strange. It’s not something funny to laugh at. There is a reason for this.
My mum used to tell me off for picking things up.
Didn’t realise at the time ☺
So however frustrated you are for that little moment, just remember how frustrating it is for them permanently.
