So I am sitting here at home which is actually clean for once! I get up to go do a load of laundry and dishes this morning... I work on unloading the dishwasher and in the middle of unloading, I think to myself "I should start that load of laundry while I am thinking abou it." I walk into the bathroom and put a basket of clothes in, pour in the detergent, and start the load. Not thinking I head for the living room and about kill myself tripping over the dishwasher door, which I left open. Yelling in pain and berating myself in my mind, how could I forget that I left that open!?! One of the joys of going blind is having your legs and arms covered in bruises.
The worse part of this going blind is when I run over my girls. Its not their faults that I can't see them and I know I can't blame them for being in my way because I should be able to see them. Gabi and Kai are used to my running into them, but the poor baby, I run into her and knock her over on her butt! She cries which makes me cry and makes me feel like a horrible mother, but I can't help it! I am not the only one that is learning to live with blindness, it affects my whole family so they have to learn to live with it too and it just may be more difficult for them than it is for me!
