O&M Training today!
Today, the Rockland County dept. for the visually inpaired is coming to the Stony Point Center campus. Jayne will be helping me to get aroubnd with the cane. So, hopefully I can get to and from the main building by myself! My sister visited a couple of weeks ago and we placed some painted rocks...that helps a lots. It is just when it is a bright sunny day OR dark night....I cannot trust the little vision I have left.
So....still waiting for August 29th and getting my guide dog!

3 Months to go! Mobility Traing.
SO, we still have June,July and August to wait to go to Guide Dog school...I can't wait!!!
In the meantime...the Rockland County dept. for the visually impaired is really slow at providing services. I need help in "Cane Training" to help me find my way around campus.
Hey....it' a problem when you can't find where the food is.....haha!

On March 24th, 2009, I received my acceptance letter from the "Seeing Eye" in Morriwtown, NJ. Here is the content:
