Im Back

Hi all
I'm back on the community after a long absence due to unexpected issues with my vision which is now very much improved. Hoping to be around more now I can actually see to read and type,
Hope you are all coping with the lockdown and the challenges it is bringing to everyone and fingers crossed the new measures can give us all a bit more to look forward to.
It has been a real challenge dealing with vision loss and home schooling but on a positive note at least my son has been around to help me with daily tasks.
How is everyone be nice to hear from you

I think of all the disabilities I would cope with least, is loss of vision. But it is amazing how people do cope. The use of seeing dogs is truly wonderful!
Lockdown is a pain, but better than to be out unnecessarily and possibly spreading the virus, eh?
I haven't been out for 46 days...but I am lucky in that I have a lovely garden to get a few days of sun.
I am also sewing for charities.
Keep safe. xx
I also am of the same opinion as Pollyanna. My mind sometimes wanders to odd places and one thing is that I sometimes try to think if there is any disability I would NOT trade my main problem for. The only one I can think of, apart from total paralysis, is vision loss. It is indeed amazing how people manage to cope with it. I really respect you for keeping going, as I certainly wouldn't be able to.
On a more positive note I am glad to hear your vision is improved enough to use the computer and I hope it continues to improve.
Great to hear from you again anyway and have a lovely weekend!
I hope you managed to have a good weekend (or at least what passes for one at the moment!) and I can't wait to see you around.

If you have a few minutes to spare, we'd appreciate your feedback on our online community.
It has been a very scary experience and certainly makes me value what sight I have even more now, I was already blind in one eye and then had several severe hemorrhage in my good eye causing acute vision loss.
I couldn't even see the face of my most precious son.
The NHS have been amazing and its down to them I now can see again so goes to prove they are not only dealing with this nasty Covid.
GREAT TO BE BACK WITH YOU ALL
