ONE DAY OF BLINDNESS- MED-HIVE WEEKLY PROMPT
One day of blindness and what it will be like.
I feel like I m on a hot seat because no one really want this to happen. But then how do those who have it cope, and hey, what am I doing to avoid this. Statistics show it that a lot of people turn blind at old age due to various chronic diseases and here I am probably being ignorant until I collided with this prompt.
I use my eye for alot of things oo, wait is there really anything I don't use my eye for. Hehehe. Everything... Infact my vision is like my life hehe.. there.. there . That's not so true tho, cos .. people live without vision and they live successful too.
I never thought I would ever write down something like this because being blind is not something anyone wants to be. I know of a popular Nigerian artist known as Cobhams Asukwo who plays the piano so well however has been blind from birth.
He lives well and is very much as placed as one of the most expensive musician and music producers in Nigeria as of today.
I'm sure there are many other human beings on planet Earth who we are visually impaired and are living their life to the fullest so then would I try to find a way to survive if I'm in such a situation. who were 2.2 billion people are visually impaired, according to World Health Organisation. That's leaving less than 5 billion with good sight. That's quite a thought.
Moreover it helps me to further and better appreciate my sight as a gift or not a right. Thanks @medhive for the prompt
So then let's begin this hard task and see how it goes join me on my one day of blindness.
When I wake up in the morning I'll probably first think to myself that everywhere is still dark however the alarms will keep blowing and I try to find my phone only for me to realise I can touch it but I can't see it.
Well that will be a funny one even imagining, but I'll remember I'm feeling what blind people feel, just for one day.
I d figured out how to step down from the bed and grope my way down to the bath room.
I then begin to wish that I had my phone set to hear my voice and then remember that I can activate Google speak from a touch.
And probably struggle so you don't send out my hive keys inadvertently hehe.
Then I'll wait until I m called from the hospital and then I try to pick the call, which may be hard because of the current use of button-less phones. What visually impaired people go through. Amazing.
But it is rest assured that I can't do my work, neither will I even be able to enjoy social media and hive as I often do.
I'll probably be able to play the guitar because I know how to play with my eyes closed.
I'm also going to scream as loud as I can to get some help as fast as possible because I'll be really scared.
And then I ll remember.. " oh it just a day.. hehehe...
I need to go do Thanksgiving in church for seeing hehe.
This prompt is bringing a lot of things to my mind really. I may never have imagined being blind but imagine what they go through too.
That day will never come but I'll be sure to be careful with my eyes to ensure that it never does.
This is my entry for the @med-hive hive community weekly prompt. I hope it interest you and also I wish you the best of sights.
See you in the next prompt.

VEry interesting post...I haven't thought about what my life would be like. It would probably be too scary. I would be able to play the guitar too the piano would have been hard to play. Picking strings seems easier to me than picking keys.
Exactly how I see it too.
Playing the guitar would be much easier to pick than having to see the white and black keys of the piano. But for people like @mipiano I think she can play blindfolded.
Yeah...I would think so too.
Amazingly, it isn't hard ooo
When you are used to it... film! You can be doing anything eyes closed. It's just like the guitar. That's how musical instruments are like shaa
Dear @jaydr,
May I ask you to review and support the new HiveSQL Proposal so we can keep it free to use for the community?
You can do it on Peakd, ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner
Thank you!
Done. Welldone Sir.
Thank you for your support @jaydr, really appreciate it! 👍
Without imposing and as we are in a renewal period for proposals, if you could take a look at the HiveBuzz Proposal Renewal - #248 as well 😁
Seeing this stuff I just remembered the latest advert IPhone did. They used people with special abilities and they showed how these people can make the best out of the Iphone in terms of its crazy features.
The advert is something that'd make one cry.
For instance, for a blind man the phone can identify objects close-by and say its name out loud.... it was so touching sha
Ahhh
And one thing about this thing is that, you will sleep for 24 hours, but when you wake up you'll realize that you've only slept for 30 minutes.
!hiqvote
Hahaha.. I dont I ve seen that advert it must be really touching. I know a lot of our devices have features that suits for people with these disabilities but we often do not get to use them or even know about them because we don't have them.

Lol... This part got me laughing really hard 😅 imagine you really did send out your keys and your eyes open the next day to see all your money gone 😂🏃♀️
Being blind is a really scary thing, I really do not wish that anyone have such an experience but then, some people are born that way and have to live with it 🥲 too bad.
Your day won't be so boring being blind since you can play the guitar, wahala for who nor sabi play guitar before 😅
Hehehe,, i fear to use "I" the thought tho
thank God hive has the 13weeks PD time o.. make I open eye check everything way miss.
You know the next day that follows will be such a funny day ehn.. I will first check the things are a precious to me, I ll now begin to value my sight.
Na who Guitar help hehehe
Thanks for stopping by.
Lol... As in ehn, the checking go take like the whole of that next day 😂
If I had sibblings around, it would not be funny at all, cause I m sure something will get misplaced.
you ll hear things like..
"Who took my comb from where I kept it?.. just one day of blindness you people have sold all my things"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'll definitely be like your siblings if such would happen especially when I've once asked you for it but you didn't give it to me 😅
Hola @jaydr
Me gusta como has manejado la interrogante, nos has presentado un día de tus actividades rutinarias, contrastando los dos escenarios, día y noche (con visión y sin visión) con presencia y en ausencia. Es inminente todo lo que implica emocionalmente esta comparación.
Tienes mucha razón y comparto tu opinión, esta pregunta generadora es muy reflexiva y con múltiples puntos de vista.
Hasta otra ocasión.
Thanks so much marilour, it would be like a dream tho, opening my eyes the next day hehe
someone said he is gonna sleep althrough hehe.. many sides to look at it really,
Cant wait to read yours if you re gonna write.
