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.
