Hi everyone. Sorry it has taken me so long to give you any updates. Hopefully you have seen my newspaper articles for updates. My vision has improved steadily and now I am able to see basic shapes that are big enough. Squares, rectangles, circles and other shapes have more definition and depth. I have mastered the uppercase alphabet at about 8 inches away from my eyes. At this distance I can see the whole letter, still at 400 font. I am going to school without my cane and I am very successful. It feels different not to put my cane on my belt everyday. But I have gotten used to it rather quickly and it feels really good to travel in school without my cane. I have also been able to see the door knobs in my house with a magnifying glass. It is pretty cool. I have been experimenting with a minocular and it is kind of weird. I have noticed how much I use peripheral vision, which seems to be hampered by the minocular. It is still a work in progress.
Okay, my personal life. I am in my second semester of senior year. I can’t believe it is almost here. Last weekend I went to audition for the jazz program at California State University at Northridge. I was really excited and hope I did well. I will keep you posted.
I will make an effort to blog more often. I am attaching some recent pictures.
