As an individual with a disability I deal with some folks who are, shall we say, COMPLETELY CLUELESS. I have had folks ask if I need stronger glasses or who have recommended that I should eat certain green leafy vegetables or what ever the latest and greatest in the 'herb" department is. I am always struck by the question, that I never say out loud, "Don't you think I would have tried EVERYTHING and ANYTHING if there really was a chance at recovery or improvement?" I eat leafy greens regularily and have for a long time and all I can say is I still feel like a rabbit and it makes my coat look amazing, but I still can't see.
Hi, Pat here (Claudine’s husband). So I need to confess that I can be one of those obnoxious snarky clueless people. Let me give an example: The other day Claudine was across the room and asked me a question. While engrossed with reading the paper I nodded “yes” and went back to my reading. About 20 seconds later I looked up and realized Claudine was still there, patiently waiting for my answer. How embarrassing (for me, the clueless one). On the bright side, I don’t really go around all day thinking of my wife as the blind one. Okay, so I guess I am starting to get a clue here.
