This week I did some of the simulations and these
were my experiences: This stimulation gave me a headache. I used the loss of an
eye mask. So my right eye was covered throughout the stimulation. It was very
tricky to type and do assignments and I had to change the way I turned my head
to do things. I also kept running into walls in my apartment because our halls
were narrow and I didn’t realize how close I was to the wall. When I took the
mask off, I was so thankful for having my right eye back. I don’t have perfect
sight, and contacts help me get throughout the day, but this assignment has
helped me realize how truly grateful I am for my vision. This stimulation was
very difficult. I never realized how much upper body strength it requires to
wheel yourself around. I had my roommate come help me and I was able to ask for
assistance when going uphill or holding the door open. Getting in and out of
the car was very tricky I have no upper body strength, so attempting to use the
bathroom was super hard as well. Another thing that I noticed while
participating in this stimulation, was that people were hardcore staring at me.
I didn’t like all the attention that I was getting. Some people smiled, but
most people just stared at me, watching me struggle.
