Going back to swimming!

Going bnack to swimming was a huge adjustment. I couldn't drive and couldn't navigate the club well without a lot of help. Everything was challenging. Getting dressed, taking a shower, walking around all the commotion, finding my locker.
It took months and months before I could manage it by myself.
When I walked I always reached for something to guide me.
MOst people were kind and opened the door for me and made sure I was safe.
It felt like I was partially blind which I was.
When you see with only one eye it is a whole new adjustment period.
And, believe me I was happy to see with one eye.
Just to remind you, my other eye works, but together there is a lag and my eyes are always converging which is very draining.
I only keep both eyes out at home, or other safe environments.
