Misstep

Sometimes I forget the eye problems that I have for a few hours, but then I get a rude reminder that I have an impairment.

Today I had to walk around the ministerial buildings in town.

The absence of depth perception is dangerous. I nearly sprained my ankle twice, nearly stepped into a manhole as well (I spotted the manhole on the way to the MoFA, but forgot when I left the building).

It’s so embarrassing.

But it’s better, than the blindness of before.

For that I’m grateful.

Transplant surgeon will be reviewing me next month; time to hear about cataract surgery and Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
