I think I would miss my sight the most. <br />Thank you for the feature, that was very sweet of you!twolefthandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11861038595653184523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062041768243580570.post-24053512792505363632009-06-25T16:31:54.727-07:002009-06-25T16:31:54.727-07:00Ha! It's not hypothetical for me; thanks to so...Ha! It's not hypothetical for me; thanks to some serious neurological issues, I've lost them all from time to time.<br /><br />Touch is the worst. Without touch, there's no knowing what is happening to my most immediate person. The only way to avoid bodily harm is constant insane vigilance, and it's incredibly alienating to not be able to feel another's touch. <br /><br />Hearing I can do without, much as I enjoy it when it's working. I'm a reader and painter and internet addict, not a music person, and most human communication is nonverbal anyway. <br /><br /><br />Still, I've done without vision pretty well! You'd be amazed how quickly other senses adapt. People think this would be the dealbreaker, but I have to say, a lot of the anguish is self generated. The main problem is balance! I have a lousy sense of balance anyway.<br /><br />Taste and smell are pretty much the same thing. A lot of joy disappears when those go. Eating becomes a requirement, instead of something to look forward to! On the bright side, it makes weight loss easy.:/<br /><br />Touch is the worst. Everything else can be adjusted for, but nothing else ever takes the place of touch. Er. Or so says someone who's had a chance to try it.:)Carapacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489746197701446680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062041768243580570.post-56113250011879174802009-06-25T14:14:47.718-07:002009-06-25T14:14:47.718-07:00Hearing - I think if I couldn't hear, it would...Hearing - I think if I couldn't hear, it would not isolate me from others of the world in ways that I couldn't compensate or replace - at least that's my fantasy. If I had a choice I'd like to stay crisp on all senses there are :-)Design Fischleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057484961561397573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062041768243580570.post-37685486428756659152009-06-25T09:48:36.783-07:002009-06-25T09:48:36.783-07:00i think i can give up smell....sound and sight and...i think i can give up smell....sound and sight and touch will be very hard....specially sight. i wear contacts a lot and i hear a lot of horror stories about ulcers from contacts that cause blindness and more....i will be very very devastated if that every happens to me so i am extra careful with my eyesJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12292197361774008317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062041768243580570.post-71241561120081653832009-06-25T08:16:36.049-07:002009-06-25T08:16:36.049-07:00I really have never thought about that before.
I ...I really have never thought about that before.<br /><br />I remember a high school friend who lost his eyesight and the devastation he felt from it. He told his dad, "Dad, I want to see. Why did I have to lose my eyesight? Of all the things I could have lost, why my eyes?". <br /><br />He died not long after that. His hurt from losing his eyesight has never left me.Christie Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304688541769492212noreply@blogger.com
