[nagdu] loosing vision and guide dogs relearning

[Sean Moore]

Hi   all its  Sean  here I’ve  re joined  the  list and  promise  to  watch  when  I reply  to  stuff .

anyways,

 life  updates- I’ve  been  through  training  at  BLIND, Inc  last  year  from step 2013  to  june 2014, I  didn’t   go  through the  full  program  but  I was  just  bad  at  non  visual  travel  with a  cane and   learning  braille  was a  pain  in my  tail.

Also   I’ve  gone  from  being 20/200 to   like  8=95% vision being  gone  due  to  glaucoma  and   have a  nice  Cataracts
 forming  that  can’t  be r removed   or  it  would  destroy  the  tiny  bit  that  I have.

So  Franklin  has  been  taking the   vision  loss  well, I  think  he  likes  it  when   I can’t  see at  night  and he  gets  to  save me  from the  dark.

like  one  time:  was  walking  with a  friend at  night  back to his  work, and  the  friend  saw  I was  having a  really hard  time at  it, so   he  left  me  to  go  on his  own.

I ended up  getting  lost  in a  small  parking  lot  for  like 30 minutes. by the  time  we  got out  I was  about  ready to  scream.

but  in the end  we  got  home and  Franklin  was  happy  for   attention .
yes  that  could have been  better  written but  didn’t  save  the   original  write up.
