You did a great job.
And being stubborn as h*** only adds to most of our charm :D
I know what you mean about the "woe is me". My Mom (who is now gone), and my one brother are like that. I can send the same joke to my SIL and my DB. Her's comes back "Wow that was great. Thanks for the laugh!"
His comes back, no reply about the joke, and something always bad. It is a private (not any longer) joke between my husband and I to see what he'll complain out next.
I look at it as there is always someone worse off than me, otherwise I wouldn't be here to complain at all.
Plus the disability has strengthened my periferrial (sp) vision quite a lot. And I do use my hands for touching and feeling. I feel the seams to see if they are straight.
I never realized it until my husband mentioned that I put out my arms to the sides in crowds as people keep running into me.
