Re: speaking of blindness, on topic

most people think you should have those things called "blindisms" think
stevie wonder the way he shakes his head, there is also rocking when
sitting, the glasses, shifting from foot to foot, sitting with your fingers
in your face. there are a host of others, but my mother prevented any
tendency to these, and tweed was an adult before her eye issues... if people
would think the disability issue to the logical conclusion, which is as you
state, everyone will end up with one... death being the ultimate
diasability... it scares them shtless so they never think about it... and
even when they do they don't for long... I am just grateful the critters
only torture me a bit, and they at least like me enough to come and put
those paws on me to gets pets, Lee

That's the difficulty. I don't look like I can't see properly.

And here's what confuses me: how, exactly, is "can't see properly"
SUPPOSED to look? I mean, Little Bit looks like a perfectly normal
cat...until you notice that she doesn't respond to visual stimulus, or you
notice that her pupils never change size. Are you supposed to have dark
glasses on, or squidged up eyeballs, or....what? Wear a giant sign? Yeesh.

The worst of my own disabilities are the "invisible" ones, the fatigue and
pain. The limp and the curved spine are obvious but often, they aren't the
main problems.

One day, each and every person will become disabled in some way, unless
they die early. I wish people would think it through and be more, I dunno,
empathic or something. Jo's right. It gets awfully tiring explaining it
over and over again.
