I’d like to devote a pair of blog posts to an encouraging workaround project.  This month I’ll first provide context by reprising the medication mismatch that has permanently impaired my vision. Then I’ll report on connecting with a remarkable public-service agency — Northern California’s Braille andTalking Book Library — that is offering me an alternative portal to restorative reading. Next month I’ll roll out my plan for selecting a year’s worth of listening attractions: literary classics, recent prize-winners and simple entertainment. 


My hope is that this personal case-study can illustrate how even an irreversible disability can generate a transformative remedy.
