What We See? Treatment options...not.
Journey of a Deaf/Blind Man This will be a short post straight to the point. It has come to my attention how difficult it is to explain what exactly I see when I view the world through my faulty camera lens. Everyday like through these looking glasses have become normal to me. How do you explain a normal process? I guess the best way is to demonstrate.The first picture is what one would see if t...

Things are Getting Better
Journey of a Deaf/Blind Man Looking at my blog over the past couple of years was a bitter experience and eye opening as well. I hadn't realized how much I actually went through until it all processed. On the up and up, things are getting better.  It took two years but I was finally deemed disabled by Social Security. It was a moment of relief holding that letter and a nostalgic one too, especia...

Usher Moments
Journey of a Deaf/Blind Man I had a few "Usher Moments" as a few of us have been calling it lately. I encourage everyone reading that writes to comment or post about some of yours!  These moments are just times where your vision or hearing interfered with your life in some memorable way that caused you laugh it off or to tell someone about it later. I had 2 moments over the holidays. ...

Deaf/Blind Art
Journey of a Deaf/Blind Man As an artist, I want to find new ways to express myself and I think I've found a very interesting avenue to pursue. Those of you with Usher's Syndrome/Retinitis Pigmentosa, when you are in a dim lit restaurant what do you see? THAT is what I want to paint/draw.  A completely black canvas with maybe on the faces by the candles showing. I think it would look very inte...

Falling Into Place
Journey of a Deaf/Blind Man Do you guys ever have days or weeks that just seem to fall into place? This week was definitely one of them and it isn't even over yet. I don't know if it is because of the wedding this weekend or maybe I just did everything at the perfect moment. But anyway here's the scoop: I finally was able to get a job 3 weeks before the wedding, which means income just for the...

New Job, ASL, and Marriage
Journey of a Deaf/Blind Man So a lot has happened in just a few short weeks.  I've met some amazing people at the Rehab center which will lead to me learning ASL(American Sign Language) very soon. I've also secured a job working for the state at a Manufacturing Plant that makes products for the military and USPS.  This plant also hires mostly visually impaired/blind persons as well so no stres...

Important things that I have learned
Journey of a Deaf/Blind Man Since I have started the Rehab program for the blind in August this year(2 months ago), I've really been kicking things into gear with productivity and organization, etc.  Every single day, whether I'm tired or not, I clean the apartment. I learned if you clean a little bit everyday, then on my big clean days it won't take very long. Yesterday was my clean day and al...

How to Fit In?
Journey of a Deaf/Blind Man When you are raised in a hearing/sighted world you have people that have certain expectations of you, assumptions about you, kind of like their own kind of ideal way you should live your life and how to act.

Careers & Restaurants
Journey of a Deaf/Blind Man It's 2:00 a.m. and I'm sitting in my dark living room typing this listening to Chopin's Nocturne as the rain pats the roof leaving a trickling sound.  Different feelings overwhelm me and it is almost difficult to pick where to begin.  I seem to get lost in piano music.  I never thought I would go from an avid 14+ year drummer to a sophisticated pianist or even enjo...

The best thing about this is I get to lose weight while learning techniques for daily living and making life easier. The second class was Personal Adjustment which consist of mostly cooking. This class will be a t...

Rehab, Kayaks, and Frustration.
Journey of a Deaf/Blind Man I received a phone call stating my approval for the Rehab center for the Blind here in Jackson, MS.  I wasn't worried if I would be accepted but if they would be able to help me at all. I asked her to look at my visual field before telling me about the program so I can know where I'm at and these are the results.  My visual acuity is 20/25 in right eye and 20...
