[stylist] To ponder- taken to another level

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Anita,

Do you use a white cane? Not that you won't still run into things, but
if using a cane, or dog for that matter, and using properly, you are
less likely to run into things, at least with your body.

Sincerely,

Well I will have to say that I have had a dream or two where I 
flew and I went blind around 2 years old from what was believed 
to have been Encephalitis.  This disease destroyed the optic 
ner"e.  I learned a few yeins ajo that the optic nerve is designf 
to take images and transmit them to the cornea I think?
I may be off on this but I understand why it is that I can detect 
objects in a room--the furniture, wh's on a wabbl, lights, but I 
cannot figure out how big the objects are or tell what they are 
with that same vision.  Sometimes the objects appear to be closer 
at times when they are farther away and vice versa.  And it can 
also be very distracting when attempting to travel independently.  
Of coursethereare times when I miss objects and bump into them.  
(Yikes! That happens with people as well." (smiles)
