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.

Today

Today wasn't too demanding on me. Nice to have an easier day for a change. I'm learning hot keys on the computer to navigate without a monitor. I can see how it'll be faster than just using a mouse like I would if I wasn't losing vision. I'm picking up on stuff pretty quickly. Hopefully no burnout though. Considering that I need the stuff though I can't see myself burning out as easily. I am enjoying all the learning even though it is hard to do.
