I am using this blogging site to keep friends and family informed about my life for the next 7 months or so of blindness training at the Colorado Center for the Blind. I have Usher's syndrome which results in hearing loss and progressive vision loss. Now the state of Colorado is paying for me to go through an extensive training program. There will be lots of challenges ahead for me and I am both apprehensive and excited!!!! The training consist of being blindfolded 8 hours a day 5 days a week and learning how to function completely without sight.

Another challenge

Another challenge for you! Next time you cook and are putting your ingredients together practice under blindfold or with something else covering your eyes. Try to pay attention to pouring and how it works and practice putting together your ingredients. If you don't want to ruin a recipe then just do an experiment with flour and water. Practice pouring water into a measuring cup (we don't use the liquid measuring cups) and practice scooping flour into a measuring cup as well. Try some different techniques and get a feel for how you would know if your hand is level and when the cup is full. Leave comments if you like so everyone can get an idea for what people feel and think about it.
