(uncomfortably)

I see in 2D. I'm colorblind in ways I can't describe. I spend 90% of my day trying to figure out if what I'm seeing is real or just a hallucination. I barely have depth perception. Everything looks blurry and weird in VR. my other spatial perceptions are fucked too. I'm face blind too. I'm photosensitive and light sensitive and movement sensitive badstyle

So what do I do?

STRUGGLE LOUDLY AT ALL TIMES

In 5 years

Y'all wanna know how much I changed in the 5 years between the photo on the left and the one taken now on the right, I've gained easily 60 pounds going from an underweight 115 pounds to 172 said good bye to my hair and shaved it off, I know I look like Kai to my Ninjago followers I too am a Natural Porcupine

I went from Popular creator in said fandom to now ignored by most and even blocked by some,

I went from being Able bodied cane and Brace free could run jump and do whatever to being able to not do any of that, having to worry about being bedridden or walker bound the next day due to extreme pain,

I once could hear everything now I am going to have to get my hearing tested because I have noticed things starting to grow quiet around me which I was warned might happen because of multiple surgeries on my ears and Malpractice from one Doctor irreparably damaged them,

I went from hiding in the closet to out and proud as a lesbian

Things change and nothing ever stays the same let me tell you that,

So this what it’s been going on with my life these days. I got more exciting news, but maybe after the surgery.

Disclaimer: I won’t turn pretty because of the eye surgery, so don’t get any expectation.

I don't want to sound rude or insensitive im just curious 

do people who are blind or have other vision deficiencies watch tv 

because theres still sound to know whats going on so do they listen to tv or do they listen to things like podcasts and books on tape for stories

or do they not listen to stories at all

Had minor operations on my eyes today. My right eye is much better, but the vision in my left eye is worse. Oh well… nothing is ever guaranteed. Hopefully I’ll be able to adjust, but my sight isn’t good at the moment.

17th July update Thankfully my eyesight is much better today. My overall vision is much clearer after yesterday’s treatment, and my left eye is focusing OK now.

Thank you NHS!
