UΔur from Istanbul Β· been through adjusting to a disabilityβIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life.

green_rose Β· been through adjusting to a disabilityβEighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Losing sight in one eye, every single day. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.β
