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.

Woodshop

Today went well in woodshop. I learned how to use the router table ane made dado cuts. I got to make the cuts while he was on the other side of the room. Doing the math calculations really hurt the brain though. Keeping track of all the numberd in your head is challenging. I enjoyed myself.

    Just so you know I am reading daily... Sometimes I check more often if you haven't written when I first check. I am so glad that you get to continue to practice what you enjoy so much! Imagine you remodeling a home while blind! I bet that would be rather impressive to more then a 100% (if that were possible) I surely couldn't imagine doing what you are doing with my eyes shut. Hold your chin up! Keep smiling even if you have to grit your teeth. I find it is really me that can make or break a day. Depending on how I let the day and those around me affect (or is it effect) me. LOL sigh my miserable spelling and grammar please forgive me!
