What kept me from production is a long and complicated story. I guess this is our annual year in review video, but with a bit of a twist. I hope you enjoy.

    I have a couple of degenerative conditions, one of the cornea and one with retna. The retnal one is new, like 4 days old and I have a lot of blacked out flashing spots in vision that literally happened overnight and has progressively gotten worse. It's hard to read and write atm. Even my retnal specialist did a lot of test and are confounded on the reason for such a fast change without other symptoms It's scary, and there's so much I wanted to see and do, games, traveling, etc. My father told me that I should plan on going to the countries that I wanted to see before my conditions get to the point where I'm fully blind. Of course that's after my specialists give me a final diagnosis Thanks you for the video, my mental health is taking a big hit because of this rapid loss of vision

    I do the same thing I still use a flash light to catch maybe a glint but I use the hand technique the most on the ground

  • @burnttoastspacegirlfriend8769

    If I have my white cane nearby, I lay it on the ground and roll it until it hits the thing I dropped. The nylon over a hand-held vaccine is genius!

    • @UnsightlyOpinions

      I love the white cane idea. I’ll use it to find big stuff like furniture but never thought to lay it down to find things. Very cool!

    The Penfriend doesn't use NFC-Tags. It uses precoded QR-Codes, which are linked to your Audio Recordings. Like any other special Solution for the Disabled, it's design and performance is poor and out-dated and it's overpriced. Soon, you run out of available Stickers and remove others or reuse them. If more then 1 Person needs to use a Penfriend in your Household, you have to seperate the Penfriends and the Labels from each other, otherwise you have wrong Linkings. The Penfriend itself isn't accessibly designed also. WTF? Use Techniques and Solutions made for everyone and don't accept being discriminated. It's a good idea to use NFC Tag Stickers or QR-Code Stickers Stickers with the Information you wish, but not just as a Link to an Audio File like the Penfriend does.

    Hey! I wanted to thank you for clarifying everything! I am so happy that MacOS has the voiceover function. I added your video to my private playlist when I buy a macOS and then I will watch it to learn a little more. For how many years I've been thinking about buying a macOS, and my family said that Apple's macOS didn't have the voiceover function, but I didn't think their answers were true. I mean, all macOS devices should have the voiceover function because it's Apple... so I ignored their false answers. 🤣 I have been an iOS voiceover user for 13 years due to my eye problems, I had surgery like over 6 times. Anyway, I started using this function when I was a high school student, my Braille teacher taught me about the voiceover function of iOS. Again, thank you so much for making this video. This information was very useful. :)

    I use a graphite folding cane from Ambutech with a high mileage cane tip. I got this cane yesterday. I've used graphite before and I really like it before I got my new cane I was using my backup which is a aluminum cane Which the aluminum cane really wears out cane tips. Which the aluminum cane really wears out cane tips because the cane's not as flexible. Graphite is durable, lightweight and flexible so it gives more feedback I love it.

    My sister has macular degeneration and her visions/hallucinations are extremely difficult on her. She has visual scenes that play out. Some are terrifying and some are not, She knows they are not real but it sometimes hard for her to differentiate between reality and hallucinations. She lives alone and when her sight was good, she dealt in hospitality, so she was surrounded by faces. I am doing all can to research this for her but there isnt much in the US as in the UK. My heart hurts for all that she goes through.

    Thank you so much for this. I became very sight impaired in the space of 10 months, and have struggled for the last 7 months. The loss of independence is overwhelming. Occasionally my daughter will guide me in the supermarket, but I feel like I'm so much of a burden, especially after she's had a long day at work. I've had to send longish emails I receive to my brother to read and paraphrase, and have been unable to even walk my dog for 16 months. It's the falls in public places in low light and on uneven ground that have made me terrified. The most recent was in May, and I'm still recovering in July. Even though I'm scheduled for eye surgery, I simply don't feel safe outside my home. Services for impaired vision are far and few between, and waiting lists are long. I have purchased a cane so I can at least try to regain some independence without fear of falling due to trip hazards. I'm not deliberately trying to be a 'downer', but the realisation of sudden life changing events can sometimes be difficult. On the upside...i can't see the dog hair building up between vacuum days, so there's that! 🤓. Your video has given me the courage to at least try and get some normality back in my life. Thank you, so much.

    I am certainly not an expert in Canadian laws preventing discrimination, but I am surprised to hear that part about the mortgage company not accepting your income due to your disability! In the US, we can not discriminate the type of income for loan or mortgage applications, especially if the applicant has a disability. As long as it's from a legitimate source and it's your income, it's welcome on the application. Having your parents cosign must've been so frustrating

    Just found your channel and am enjoying catching up…. I hated the sunglasses option when I was young for the look of the big chunky ones. Only in the past five years have I tried again, with cheap wrap around pairs and it has made a huge difference especially for daytime travel and exercise. Also, when visiting restaurants, I’m always looking for the table in the corner and my partner always just takes the seat facing the window so I don’t have to. All the architecture that wants to maximize natural light! I understand, but give me a cave to retreat to if needed!
