[nagdu] Restored vision

[Tami Jarvis]

Tracy and Cindy,

I have a friend who recently got her sight back, all the way. She's 
still adapting, but doing very well with those conveniences like driving 
and reading. The first few months were apparently a nightmare! Sounded 
to me at least as traumatic, disruptive and weird as losing my vision 
was for me. In fact, it was really interesting to compare notes about 
the internal experience because there were so many parallels. Which 
makes sense, I guess.

I'm one who would love the reading and driving parts of being sighted 
again. Don't know that I would relish the transition back, however. Once 
was enough! /smile/ I would probably continue to rely on my guide dog to 
some degree or another for quite awhile, and my cane and speech and 
braille, because those are now more natural to me.

It is a fascinating read and reminds you even more of why you might not want to get your sight now. I think you would find yourself still needing to use many of the same techniques that you now do. Thank goodness we don't have to go through it, so we can pat our dogs and be thankful.
