Had a really out of Body Exp. yesterday after going for my Eye Test. Had some drops put in my eyes & the doc asked if I drive. Came out of the surgery and was nearly blinded having to feel my way around in the market & making excuses. Struggled home with 1 eye like Looka & the other like Blinks making sure I wait at the traffic lights so I don’t get run over? Got in doors started my usual Saturday routine, but had to give up as I stick the knife in my hand seasoning the chicken. Went to sleep off the drowsiness & then got up to finish the dinner & the rest of the chores & then back to bed>>> Now I know how people who were not born with a Disability have to try cope & adapt if they are eventually confronted with anything of such nature? Having to cope with a HIDDEN DISABILITY all of my Life, has made me more Sensitive to the needs of the VULNERABLE in Society. Unless U have to stand in OUR shoes for just 1 minute no one knows the real struggle WE have to deal with to overcome the Shit that this Insensitive World throws at US in the forms of Social Injustices & Inequalities. These SII are neatly packaged in PC labelled as EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, but they are totally blindfolded as it only applies to some? Because I know how much WE can be misjudged & our intentions Misconstrued to suit those who refused to educate themselves about OUR Needs. I have taken the stand to become an ADVOCATE for the Downtrodden & Misunderstood who are not given a Voice >>>> So when I get on my Soap Box am doing it for US because WE are SPECIAL? MAD, MENTAL or FOOL-FOOL are just some of the Labels attached as well!!!
