And even today, daily, I rise and do most of "getting ready for the day--in total darkness.

My father had 2% vision and I wondered what it would be like to be blind. So I practiced it. It is interesting to read the interior senses which makes sense, doesn't it? Nice informative post.

She knew every inch of that apartment and could manage to get around it, dress, care for herself pretty much, cook her t.v. dinners, etc - until that last stroke which turned everything topsy turvy. Proprioception, huh. I haven't really tried doing all that yet but I'll give it a whirl.
