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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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....
