Have you ever been out in public when all the lights went out? As adrenalin rushes through your body, you sense the sudden apprehension. The lights didn’t totally go out for me, but I felt that same anxious fear arise when I walked into someone because I never saw them. Try walking into a pickup truck with the big lift kit. Thank God, it was parked. The multiple accidents. The knowing that laundry was more difficult to sort. Although doctors had assured me my lifelong visual impairment had stabilized, never to get worse, I knew I was going blind. New doctors confirmed what I already knew, and I began learning how to live in the dark.
