Thank you, guys, I have had a temporary disability, a broken arm, twice with my good arm/hand, and I have a taste of what it's like to be disabled. I know I can't perform like I used to, but I make the best of it, and rely on what does still work, and make those abilities stronger. No, I know I'm not in the same league because I never had CP, or blind or deaf, but I've had dreams about being blind, and I know how hard it is. I've also had friends who were both blind and deaf, and I loved them unconditionally and I admired how strong they were in facing their everyday challenges. What I have a problem with is people that either pity you, or think of you as less than standard because you have a disability. As human beings we need to work around any challenges or difficulties and better ourselves for it.

Blindness, deafness, and standard injuries wouldn't be a big issue for me. I would likely have a bigger problem dealing with someone with a traumatic brain injury where they became violent or prone to rages.

i dont like when others pity me for i dont want them to im a human just like anyone else and with feelings.
some can accept the fact im a kidney dialysis patient and some cant or dont even want to step towards me like its a diease of some sort
i even wear a hearing aid in my left ear for the past number of years for i hearing issue that has been quit noticeable over time,, as i have a book that mentions that if you have kidney failure 9which i do) its a chance you would have hearing issue (well thats me)

more noise in bed?? (sorry...had to lighten the mood)

i dated a guy sometime back. he was a very sweet man
he used to drive a semi. and 8-9yrs ago he was in a semi accedent as where it left his mobilty to speak or walk.(he used a walker)
it got to the point where i felt that he couldnt emotionally support himself where he surely couldnt emotionaly support me. so i felt that it wasent going to work..
i didnt have a problem with him other wise... if im in a relationship im sure anyone would like the person to be emotionally supportive

I can certainly agree with that.

Nope, besides I could still feel his face to see how hot he is.

Spoken like a true spokesperson for the blind, well said, Calleigh. You and I may cross paths on here, you're a sage, I'm a noob, but sometimes we see eye to eye like now.

collagen

since i could no longer see boobs or women naked,i'd be done for.





might as well take me out to the pasture and shoot me

well what does that say about your imagination, hm?

Jt, have you ever felt a woman's breasts in the dark? Really got to know the breasts? The true essence of tittiness? Every curve, every fold, every lump, every bump, every silkiness? If you have then you know what it's like to be blind and still pleasure your lover, no need to shoot yourself.

I think I would want the man to be more cognizant of sounds. Noises would be more bothersome. And patient with me. Accept that I would cry a lot at first. And hook me up with a seeing eye dog. Put the toilet seat down for sure. Keep things in the same places so I can find them. Take me for exploratory walks.

Change?
Oh dear it wouldn't change it would halt.
I wouldn't want to be with anyone at all for I would be a miserable, whining, hateful, twit! I use my eyes for so much. Losing my eye sight at this age would make me dependent and that is something I couldn't bare to well. Now if I lost my hearing it would be different, nothing would change.

well i did have one gf that fell from the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down



but i won't get into that.....

I think I would stop dating altogether. Other than going on blind dates. (Has someone cracked this already? If yes, apologies; I did not read all other posts.)

Not true, every injury affects people differently. I had one in 1991, still walk with a cane, etc. It depends greatly upon the person and the extent of the injury. And yes, mine was bad. Four month coma bad.

I think it would change somewhat. I would be looking more for a caregiver than an equal partner...just being honest.

At this point in my life, I'm more concerned if they have a career and done breeding.

Why?....oh yeah, because you can't "see"
