Hi,
As you know or have found out so far a lot of things are done by touch for
instance if you want to sweep your floors are usually find a corner where I
want to sweep all of the trash in till and I sweep the whole room tour to
that corner and then I can go and pick up the trash knowing that it's in
that one area the same for vacuuming start on one end of the room and work
your way to the other side of the room as far as it goes with making coffee
you can first start by taking the coffee cup that you will end up drinking
your coffee out of filling it up with water and pouring it into your teapot,
this way you know how much water it will take to fill up your cup then that
way you can pour the water from the coffee pot into the back of the coffee
pat container mum and then everything else is self explanatory when I first
moved in with my now husband most of his appliances were touchscreen which
as you know is extremely difficult for someone who is blind by him being
cited he was able to help me label the coffee pot our oven and so on this
way I can use it hope this helps Sam and if you have any other questions
please don't hesitate or feel awkward by asking
