Blind

For the past few days, I have been visually impaired, due to an unfortunate case of conjunctivitis and annoying delays on the delivery of my new specs. Fortuantely I know how to touch-jtype because even with the font at a ridiculously large size, I cannot see the words displayed on the screen. It has been an interesting world without TV or internet (except in 5 minute spurts) or driving. I have felt too timid to even leave the house, worried that i will be run down by some camouflaged vehicle or fall into a puddle. I found some old specs lying under my bed but the prescription is so out of date that these were headache-inducing aafter all of 5 minutes. Activities that I have been able to do include reading (although I've run out of reading material and have been unable to restock, due to the abovementioned fear of leaving the house), cooking (fortunately one of my last pre-blindness activities was grocery shopping to make a pasta dish) and sleeping (all with the gooey wonder of chloramphenical ointment to keep me company).

Pkease exc;use any typos. I am normally the first to point out errors in spelling but I beg immunity as I can't actually see the errors and I find this laptop keyboard difficult to use, especially without visual feedback. My fingers feel like clumsy logs and my manual dexterity is quickly fading. Glad i don't want to be surgeon, then.
