Try even fitting in a good walk mate to start off with if you can - fresh air and abit of peace and quiet. It helps me control panic attacks along with sertraline and diazepam. Look after yourself mate - Hope your mum, dad, grandma and sister keeping well too. Go Suns. ?
Hi and thanks for your kind words. We've been living with this for 10 years and have gone through the range of emotions. Life is as normal as it can be, we get by just fine although we are aware that there is a ticking clock with regards to what's left of her eyesight. It is what it is, there's no more to be done so we will tackle that problem when it arrives
Thanks mate! Apperciate the kind words as always. I'll be driving up to see my mom and grandma this weekend for Mother's day so that will be nice. Suns have been a rare bright spot this year, sadly a massive contrast with Everton!
Are you in Liverpool? If so Bradbury fields is great help for people with sight loss etc. I have glaucoma ( plus other sight issues) myself mate so understand a small part of what your wife is going through .
No mate, she refuses to as she still has about 10% vision remaining. I know she's been to somewhere in Liverpool, we're only up the road anyway.
I’ve got about 20% or there abouts left I use my tint glasses for the tele internet etc sometimes outside but always were sunglasses outside regardless. In all honesty I shouldn’t be looking at my iPad etc as it does me no favours but listening to podcasts all day gets tiresome. I probably watch 4 of tele a day maximum spread over the day. Very rarely more . often can be a lot less too.
My wife has been to Bradbury Fields, she says it's next to the guide dog place. The took her swimming a few times. She says it was really helpful for when she first got her diagnosis
Yea that’s it Christopher grange is also on the same land. another sight loss rehab type place
Unfortunately theres idiots everywhere mate, youre probably just more used to Liverpool.
I do a lot of travelling around the uk and liverpool is a lot worse . Glasgow for example gets a bad rep but I can’t fault the people there . i’m not the only person with sight impairment who says the same about Liverpool. Don’t get me wrong I’ve had issues on the tube in London too.
‘what the fck you looking at LAD‘
Earwig you have my admiration friend. You are an expert on your son / grandaughter and their needs and as you know it can be very demanding. One of my patients was " fixated " with bus time tables and any outings or trips out together, I had to try and avoid bus stops otherwise we would be there for hours. I'm sure your a very good parent and a patient one too, especially with those people who don't " get it. ". Take care
