From Car to Cane

I stopped driving in early September. In November of the same year, I started Orientation and Mobility (O&M) - cane training. In two months I went from shifting gears to tapping a white cane. Everything changed so fast it gave me whiplash. It was surreal.

There are plenty of elderly people out there with Macular Degeneration who don't know they have a problem. I've even seen where DMV employees help visually impaired drivers pass their driver's license test. At least I stopped driving when I found out.
