Gosh I have just had my last brunch where I hope to be
feeling quite so, full as from tomorrow, I am going to try to eat well again as
in less and more healthy food rather than my diet of bread. I started off
really well at the turn of the year, well in fact until lockdown then I felt a
strange sensation that I needed to eat to keep well, and ate I did.
Tomorrow I will get my new treadmill. At last. I am super
excited. Please God, let it be accessible? As in no flat screen. I hope to be
able to feel something like a button or at least a risen section. Hopefully our
Son will put it together for me after work tomorrow night.
Talking of our Boy Wonder, he took our Waggatail a couple of
nights ago to his and Shamrocks house to stay overnight. For a sleep over,
haha. Only thing is, he also promised his neighbour that he would look after
her dog too. But not overnight. It was a
full-on following day for him for sure. But he did his neighbour a favour as
all of his neighbours are so close and have a great friendship which is amazing
especially for a brand-new estate.
Only a couple of weeks then our boy will be the proud owner
of a puppy Shephard. I can’t wait to meet him. Talking of dogs, I got the call
from Guide Dogs today hinting when things get back to normal, my GDI is going
to call out to put my Waggatail on the retirement list. Oh no, I totally dread
that day. Though the guy is so lovely, I hate that day when the harness is
removed from us. It’s sad and Heartbreaking. But I will not give her up. She and
The Little Fella will stay with us until the day they leave this earth. Hopefully
because there isn’t a lot of hard work to do here for Waggs, she will be able
to work a little longer as she is still fit and healthy.
I have been reading a lot of news about treatments for Retinitis
Pigmentosa and there is some good news out there. I shall share some links with
you at the bottom of here.
I dream of the day when I am writing to you telling you all
about my day in a sighted world, but to be honest, I would be happy with being
partially sighted. Whilst I hate being blind, it’s tough and cruel, we do have moments
when I am better off now than what I was when I had some vision. Like being
able to go out in the dark as before I was blind in the dusk only could see
during the day. Now day and night all the same. But that can be a problem. All the
same, day and night every morning waking up to the same view, same challenges and
same feeling of exhaustion as to remember every single step I need to take
makes me so tired. As a sighted person, I didn’t even have to take in my
location. I just walked. Not needing to map routes out in my head. As a person who is blind, I have to think
ahead all of the time.
Oh my, here is my dear neighbour come to cut our grass at
the front of our house. He is so kind to do that.
I read something today. She’s not fragile like a flower, but
fragile like a bomb. Haha. That’s great, thanks to Amy and Dorie for that.
Happy birthday to Patricia, Lisa, Amy and everyone of you who have birthdays
today.
Thanks to Murat Yabas and Bill Stell for this information.
