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.

Convention

We are flying out tomorrow morning to Dallas TX to go to a week long convention. It's the yearly NFB convention (National Federation of the Blind). Over 3000 blind people are expected and I am not looking forward to it. So many people and so much activity. I've been given permission to go without sleep shades so it'll be nice just focusing on info gathering rather than spending time worrying about travelling amongst this ginormous crowd of craziness and busyness. I'll let you know how convention is going when I get the chance.
