@ mh 

I've been around. I've just been posting in the Most Great and Secret Threads, is all.
Boring ritualistic stuff, mostly...blood orgies, human sacrifice, blah, blah, blah.

Honestly, you wouldn't be interested.

Well it where I go for mobility, group therapy, and train with technology. Once I do stuff like that they're supposed to transfer me to Vocational Rehabilitation to find a job or college then job. The only real problem is that blind people have a -80% employment rate. Sigh. But it focus on improving your everyday living skills and adapting to a world without sight. Sorry it took me a minute to reply, it's raining so I feel like poop.

Mobility is learning to get around in places. Training involves canes, guide dogs (not my thing), sighted guide, bikes (I really want to learn this), and solo (that's no cane or dog). Learning to navigate crowds, places that are too loud, too quiet, getting through traffic, what to do in unfamiliar areas. Blah blah blah

Do you know what kind of vocational training they offer? I'm guessing it would be mostly computer/tech stuff. 
Maybe call center/customer service?

An acquaintance of mine who happens to be blind makes a very good living as a massage therapist, and he's works out of his home.
Ethical massage, btw...Don't get any crazy ideas! lol

You'll get it done.
Law school too, if you're still leaning in that direction.

Hang in there, BQ. Smile
