Title: Wow this sucks...
Post by: Spam on January 10, 2009, 05:47:38 PM
Well today one of my teachers just told me, my mom, and two other people that one of are teacher is slowly going blind... and this is no joke, so how would you deal with going blind?

20/400 is horrible as it is.
I would probably take it pretty well though.
Depression obviously, but after that look for a cool cane.

Being completely blind would definitely be an obstacle... not to mention there goes video games. It's a handicap, yes, but by no means should it be a hindrance. There's a blind girl at my school learning computer science and planning on becoming an English major in college. I don't know what happened, but she certainly did not let it stop her. Disabilities, while unfortunate, just change the rules of the game.

I've have less than 50% percent and I'm not too worried.

I would take interest in playing some instrument and probably start to work out. Probably be a detective or something like that. But, I'm not too concerned about becoming blind.

And do blind people have to worry about crushes?

I'm living it. I have an eye condition called Degenerative or Progressive Myopia, and for lack of better term, it's very potent.

Meh.

My 6th grade teacher/my sister's SS teacher has cancer :(  I'd hate to go blind, but it's not like I can see clearly now anyway.
