Af...Ah yes, the bending down and wacking your head. After plenty of times, I've finally learned to always reach out and touch first, before bending down. It's really easy to remember in a strange setting, but so easy to forget at home. I don't know how many times I've wacked my head while cleaning the bathroom. For the most part I'm good about remembering to feel first. <br /><br />Today the paratransit driver picked me up and when I couldn't find the door he said, "Oh I didn't know you were visually impaired, they only told me you had a guide dog." Um. Yeah. Ok. It deserves a blog post, but I think I'll do it tomorrow ;)Rohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15221466457945806775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666613150525776296.post-64422328536970479532010-03-24T13:13:48.059-05:002010-03-24T13:13:48.059-05:00Well you know what.

It was kinda funny at church when we were walking through the tight area, where the pastor specifically said not to stand, gather,and chat, and there were three people standing there and no one could hardly get through,nevertheless a blind person. Your cane went right up her leg and was lifting up her long skirt and I had to smirk when she looked around thinking someone was being fresh with her. "Oh, excuse me." she said. But I couldn't stop smiling. <br /><br />I'll try to be more careful in the quiet room as you pass, so you don't get creeped out. ;)<br /><br />Remind me to do a post about us sighties, who have to live with our newly blind mates. It might just be an eye-opener. ;)jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401569094090026684noreply@blogger.com
