Blindness at Birth, Retrolental Fibroplasia
Partially Sighted age 24 to Now
Late stage RLF complicatons began a few years ago.
My doctors always are amazed at how much I can do with what vision and
physical abilities I have. Lots of compensation, good medical care,
education, training and rehabilitation, specialized equpment and
attitude!!!
And of course a good service dog with guide dog skills!
