Having already been severely sight impaired, I’ve recently lost a significant amount of vision.

There are things I can still do and some I almost took for granted that I cannot do now. There are other things I now find difficult that I have had to find new ways to make manageable again.

What I already used feel for instead of vision

• Tying my shoelaces
• Brushing my hair
• Washing up
• Identifying loose change

What I can still do

• Brushing my teeth – although putting the toothpaste on the brush can be a very messy and fun experience!!
• Shower and dress myself.
• Identify clothes – although I do have two cardigans that are very similar and once thought I was wearing the white one until a friend commented I was looking pretty in green!!
• Use my hob and oven – both are gas. I can tell which gas mark…
