Blind Girl Drunk Podcast

As the days are slowly getting longer, but the cold is settled in, it’s time to take a mini break and get those last winter jobs done and out of the way before spring arrives. With this in mind, I’ll be taking the month of August off and be back with the spring/in September with more episodes on living with low vision and how we can turn things around for you to enjoy. In the meantime, keep those requests coming and I’ll add them to the list 😊. So, savour those last days of summer or winter depending on where you are and I look forward to re-connecting with you very soon!  For any feedback or requests: [email protected] To become a supporter: www.patreon.com/blindgirldrunkpodcast

  So, we’ve had this discussion before… that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have it again! Being invisible… There are times, especially when we find ourselves in a bureaucratic system, that those of us with vision impairment get treated as it our lack of vision means we have cognitive issues. In today’s episode we’ll discuss what this means and my way of handling it. So, sit back, relax and remember you’re the one in control!  For any feedback or requests: [email protected] To become a supporter: www.patreon.com/blindgirldrunkpodcast

 So, a common question anyone dealing with sight loss will get is: what can you see? This is such an open-ended question. Basically, what people are curious to learn is: what do blind people see?

 What’s it like having an eye-examination at Public Hospital? Today we’ll discuss what to expect when going to the hospital for an eye check-up. We’ll explore “the system” and how the experience translates for someone with vision impairment and the best way to prepare on an emotional level. Also, we’ll discuss how this compared to the “Private Hospital” experience from earlier in the year and my thoughts over-all.  For any feedback or requests: [email protected] To become a supporter: www.patreon.com/blindgirldrunkpodcast

For those of us with the dubious privilege of stumbling along the path of sight loss you’ll see where this one is going! In short, with diminishing sight come many opportunities to build those metaphoric bridges and get over ourselves. Basically, for self-preservation purposes, we need to learn to grow a tolerance to getting things wrong – it is what it is and we’ve got to learn to live with it. In today’s episode we’ll discuss the philosophical reasoning that may just help you along the way.  For any feedback or requests: [email protected] To become a supporter: www.patreon.com/blindgirldrunkpodcast
