What I've learned from being blind

Posted by MagicalSarai - July 17th, 2009


So about three days ago I developed pink-eye, also known as viral conjunctivitis, in both eyes. Let me tell you this one little thing first: it's not any fun. Even if you don't wear contacts... not any fun.

Me? I've been blind as a bat ever since I was four... so contacts have not only saved my beauty, but my sanity. I used to own glasses back in the day, but they invented these lovely disposable contacts... and I was all ready to forget about glasses. 8 years pass and I've never had a need for glasses... until now. You can't wear contacts with pink eye, it's basically asking the infection to take up residency! So I've spend the past three days without the ability to see... and I've learned this:

1. you cannot play the xbox 360 blind, even if you own a 62 inch plasma tv.
2. When you try to play on a 62 inch tv and your nose is in the middle of it... you can't see anything!
3. Laptops may be portable... but don't forget where you put them.
4. Stepping on a laptop will not break it.
5. When someone moves something after you set it down... finding it is a hella difficult!
6. Do not try and take a shower when you cannot see.... it's hard to find the right beauty products.
7. Nare and Shampoo should not have the same bottle colorings.
8. IF you wash nare out in under 2 minutes... you will not lose your hair.
9. Do not try to walk around in four inch heels when you are blind... balance is not everything.
10. When in doubt... just lay down and hate the world. It'll make you feel better

well that sucks. but hey if it makes you feel any better i lost my glasses so now i can barley see any thing far a way and i can see a little close up. now you know that someone knows your pain.

It is nice to share a common bond with someone! By the gods I don't wish this upon even my worst enemies... well that would be a lie. I'd love to be able to sit and watch them live like this while I ate a bag of popcorn!

I keep my body-care products in the same place when I take a shower, just a force of habit I guess. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Please enjoy the remainder of your twenty-four hour span of time.

I normally try to keep everything in a certain order... but when your roomie moves stuff around in the shower. Sigh... not pleasant. XD I'm definitely investing in a new pair of glasses after this.

wow that must suck ass

I don't know if you have any idea what it is like to only be able to see three inches in front of your nose... but yes... it sucks major ass. XD
