What would you do if tomorrow you would wake up and find out that you're BLIND!?

Question:

How would you react, and would your life stop there?

Answers:
I would call in sick. I think I would deserve a day off to get adjusted. I would probably get a case worker too. I would need a lot of things to adjust. I would get one of those really well trained dogs. Or better a monkey. They are awsome.

But I think saying your life would "stop there" is pretty insulting to all the people who life full and rewarding lives even though they are blind.

I have known two people who were legally blind. Other than drive, they could do everything else I did.

call my eye docter and have my room mate drive me there

You'd get over it, learn to rely on your other senses, learn braille, get a seeing eye dog, do what you need to do to survive.

take one last look at myself in the mirror.

see if my doctor can do anything and if he cant then probably kill myself cause life isnt worth it if u cant even see it

My first thought would be to contemplate suicide. Then, I will come to my senses and think it through. I do not think that I will allow myself to stop my life at that point in time. It will be difficult to live my current lifestyle, but I know I will be able to adapt. I hope this does not happen though....

1. buy seeing eye dog
2. get white cane
3. get ray charles looking glasses
4. never rearrange furniture
5. throw away contact lenses
6. return unused contact cleaners
7. trade in TV for better stereo
8. trade in car for # 1 and 2
9. trade camera for books on tape
10. move on with my life

well im not sure but when i was little one day i woke up and thought i was blind because all i saw was white but it turned to be my clean white wall.. i got freaked out then laughed at myself

life wouldnt stop there b/c when one of ur sense is lost another gets stronger..u would get used to it and theres more to life then seeing

lol sha.g ne1 cos i cant c how bad dey luk

I would stay in bed all day praying that when I woke up the next day, I would be able to see again.

If I was still blind, I'd get myself to a doctor. I'd learn braille. I'd start learning to live with my disability.

I often wonder what it would be like to be blind. At first, I think I would have the normal human reaction of panic, depression, anger, fear, the whole shebang.

Once I knew why I was blind, and was sure there was no way to cure/treat/reverse the blindness, I imagine I would settle into learning how to deal. I imagine it would be a heck of an adjustment, but I'd like to think I could deal.

I believe that everything happens for a reason and if I ever lose my sight, I would trust that the Higher Power had a purpose (this is, of course, after I get done with all the pouting and whining and asking "Why me??"...LOL).

I have a neighbor who lost his sight just a few years ago; he is in his late 50's/early 60's. At least I know that I would have support from my family and from others who deal with blindness every day.

I would be thankful that I had my sight as long as I did, and that I would at least know what things look like, unlike people who have been blind from birth.

After my obvious visit to the hospital where I would get confirmation of my Blindness. I would pray to God, thank him for every thing he has given me. I would understand that this is not a punishment from God but is a test of my faith. I would talk to family and friends, and then with the help of God I would try to get my life back together. Maybe starting of at home before i venture out into the big world.

I'd probably be running into all kinds of crap.

Seriously, I'd be devastated.

if tomorrow i wud wake up and find out that um blind ......at once obviously i will be shocked but then what happens,happens for good may b god wanted me to b that wayz.....c if v got a life to live v cant expect it to b smooth all the time it will for sure have ups and downs that is what life is all about.....life wud neva stop there it jus keeps going......bless!

ı dont wanna think about thiss

I would commit suicide because it's the only part of me that's still good according to my parents.

Well, my life as a seeing person would stop, I guess, but not my life in general. I remember the first time I had a blind spot from a migraine aura--it was scary, but I just dealt with it. What choice do you have? I mean, if medication and surgery can't help, then you just deal with what you get every day.

I'd probably become much more of an activist for visually impaired people. Right now, I'd like the world to be more welcoming to them and more accommodating, but I have other issues that are closer to my heart that take up more of my time and effort. But it's an important issue--I just have to ration my resources. I'd get a service dog.

I will feel sorry for not seeing Monalisa before :).
If I had ,maybe she will be my eyes now.

If I had not seen her before.Its OK with me and I will move on,If without falling down?,with my life.

I will spread my joy to others all over the world through a website.

Fell my way to the bathroom.

But seroiusly, my life wouldn't end there, I'd learn brail and I'd still have music to listen too. I would probably be inspired to write a lot about what I remember seeing.

will get back to sleep...

i would be very sad but life goes on

I will see my Dr. ASAP

would commit suicide
