Impact on My Life
Robbed of independence, That is a biggie. Can do no more crafts.
Uses to bake a lot, but I shy from that, as it puts a lot of anger
in me when I cannot see the measure cup. It taks me so long to do
anything, as I have to back track to to make sure I am right. Hubby
is willing to do all he can, and he does.
Positive Effects
To do all for myself. I have my crying time, but do not let it
overrule laughter.
