I'm hoping to be able to get a motorized chair/scooter-considering the shape my elbows & shoulders are in-I don't go far in my manual. Am TRYING to find an apt fitted for a wheelchair & on first floor. Beginning to wonder if that's impossible in this area.

I've been paralyzed and told I wouldn't walk again. 8 months in a wheelchair and 4 more with a walker. it sucked but I'd live in a wheelchair before I'd go blind. at least u can still drive. lose ur sight and a lot gets takenaway.

I can live without legs.
But without eyes I wouldn't be able to see how people answered the question on here.
And then I wouldn't be able to correct them when they give the wrong answer.

BUT-considering how much I read, (2-3 books/week usually, plus a LOT of blogs/news sites), my sight is most important. I can't use any of the usual glaucoma drops because of an allergy; so right now I just PRAY I see long enough to my first grandchild-AND everything else... ;)

Uuuhhmmm...considering I'm legally blind from glaucoma AND, well, am *supposed" to use my wheelchair, (I can't walk more than about 80 feet these days-BUT, NOT ready to "sentence" myself to the thing 24/7), I don't have much of a choice in the matter-I don't want to give up either one!!

Sight. I was once blindfolded to see how it was and it was an awful, dark place. I've had family members in wheel chairs, and they're perfectly content with their lives. They can still watch sunsets, and the ocean, an all the most beautiful things.

Would the numbers be different if the question was;
What do you check out first on your blind date?
Just asking.

@Epic- most of your skills you listed require sight to properly achieve. Eg. Identifying poisonous plants.
I would prefer to keep my eyes. They have prosthetic legs that function, so you really haven't lost much. Prosthetic eyes' only function is cosmetic.

@EPIC. that's awesome!!! I'm only 13 too and I can do some of that stuff too! That's amazing though!

@EPIC, sounds like you are preparing for the Hunger Games...LOL As far as losing your vision and the way you see things, If you previously had sight you would still have your visual memory and thus all the visual concepts you previously had.
