Looking for Someone Who Understands My Struggles as a Visually Impaired Person

I'm with you! I have been visually impaired I illegally blind my whole life however a month ago I had a surgery that left me with even less sight so I am struggling to deal with all the new challenges including even more light sensitivity to the point where going out during the day at this point is very difficult until I figure out how to handle it. Right now I'm using big hats and sunglasses but that doesn't always seem to be enough. Also, adjusting to trying to cook and things like that. I am blessed to have a husband who is very understanding and allows me to keep the lights off in our house at all times :-)

Oh yes, I have trouble with depth perception and constantly running into things or tripping over things that seem obvious to others, I became qualified for a cane last year and now everybody just looks at me like you don't really need that, you can see me just fine. Sure I can with one eye telling me your right in front of me and the other which can actually see you telling me that your 5 ish feet away. The barriers get crossed listening to the wrong one most of the time. They haven't went to grab their shoestring and touched the floor instead, or bruised their noggin on the wall that has been in the same place for 11 years, so as far as I am concerned I think they can keep their mouth shut. But I also know it's hard not to care about what others think so?
