If all goes according to plan tomorrow I get my white stick, had another bad fall again this week bruising my ribs for the second time in a few weeks.
The reason for the white stick is I have nystagmus and my eyes move from side to side and up and down and don't work with my brain as they should, this is due to brain damage caused by several strokes, my seizures and brain surgery.
