[Ohio-talk] DON'T YOU JUST HATE THIS!

[Smith, JW]

After my visit to my doctor yesterday, I was sitting in the reception area waiting for my ride and a gentleman asked me if I was blind and after I confirmed his suspicions, he told me just how sorry he was that I was blind at least 5 times in about 7 minutes!

No matter how many times I told him that life was good and that he should not feel that way he kept on saying it.

Needless to say, I was not unhappy when he was called for his appointment before my ride came for me.

I don't know about you but I get so tired of these kind of exchanges and interactions and they seem to happen when my patience is fairly low!

Oh well, there are none so blind as those that will not see or who refuse to understand that one can have a productive and satisfying life even without physical sight.

GOOD GOD!
