I used to get mad when I would get scraped on the head by low hanging branches, now I get even! I sometimes carry a pair of handheld garden clippers in my back pocket when walking to places I commonly go.
That way I can trim any low hanging branches or bushes encroaching on the sidewalk as I go.
Having Retinitis Pigmentosa makes it challenging for me to take the typical color blindness tests. I tried the Ishihara test at Ishihara Test for Color Blindness and was unable to see any numbers until after I read the answers and looked again. I was then able to make out the numbers that indicated that I am red/green colorblind.
I wonder if it is more common for people with retinal degenerations to also be color blind. I looked at some research articles on this but didn’t find anything definitive. It does seem possible though since RP and color blindness are both types of retinal degenerations.
Cane tips come in two sizes, 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch. I wasn’t sure why so I bought both. It turns out that the smaller 1/2 inch size is for replacing the straight tip that comes on the cane while the larger 5/8 inch size slides over the existing tip. I found it easier to slide the 5/8 inch tip on rather than trying to pull off the old tip.
