Jim,
As you know I've esp. been struggling quite a bit lately with the MS, with depression and especially with the blindness. (I can't even say "my" blindness yet.) I have been getting ready for it for some time as the Multiple Sclerosis has been progressing, but nothing can truly prepare you for the reality of it once it finally happens. I'm afraid that I'm not being a very good blind person. I'm angry, even rageful, afraid, sometimes to the point of panic. I'm frustrated and disapointed and bitter. It's still relatively ne w and I know I have to work through the grief and drastic changes, but it's been hard. So hard.
I'm approaching the one year anniversary of The Day I Went Blind.
