[stylist] Preparing for trip to American Printing House for theBlind

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

April,

I think you are being very proactive about this. I would say you are
adjusting just fine, smile.

Learning audibly after having learned visually your entire life is a
huge jump. I had to maneuver this change myself ten years ago. It's not
so easy at first, but if you keep at it, the adjustment can be made.

Cheers and good luck. Keep us updated.

Bridgit

Hi John,

    I'm not sure I understand the Braille Blaster.  I think I will start
the Hadley Braille courses this winter sometime.  I'm almost done with
Self-Esteem and Self-Defense.  Then, a few marketing courses, and a
listening one.  Listening is important, as I have hearing issues as
well. I'm used to reading closed captioning on tv.  My adjustment is
progressing.


Hi Bridgit,

     This trip is very important to me.  I want to learn as much as I
can. I am planning to take the Braille courses from Hadley, and want to
learn as much history, and current technology as I can.  Had an update a
few minutes ago!  I now have a scheduled appointment to do the initial
intake for computer training and white cane training.  What with the
next set of eye tests coming in a few weeks, it's going to be a busy
month.

      I think the big 40 is finally starting to hit home.  It'll be here
before I know it.
