Narration Supposing Books Unblinded: One Man’s Courageous Journey through Darkness to Sight
Unblinded: One Man’s Courageous Journey Through Darkness to Sight by Traci Medford-RosowMajor plus to buying this book is that the author is donating all proceeds to the Mitochondrial Disease Foundation and it's a super good read.
Starts with praise for authors works and summary of this book.
Story starts out with how and why this book was written.
Diary entry type book that shows when he first noticed the loss of vision and his drinking.
I can totally relate to this story as I've also gone to specialist every 6 months for the past 50+ years of my life due to an unknown disease/condition.
Exams and tests done I am very familiar with, devastating outcome for him.
I have been very lucky with the doctors I've seen and I know all the technical terms when educating a new doctor due to change in health insurance. Some I know more about the disease then they do.
At times the book is hard for me to read as I've been there done that and didn't even want the tshirt.
Love help the support group gave him I've not had a coffee table in centuries as I'd never see it and trip over it.
So Many brick walls, you can't even imagine the obstacles to just get help.
There are pictures throughout the book showing what is going on during it's specific chapter.
I recall the hurtful comments from family the first time I used my cane at a family outing-they treated me like I had cancer or something they'd catch.
Not my parents though they were 100% behind me and I think at times they felt they were to blame for my lack of vision.
Learned by listening to this book how to use the sweeping method when using the cane-I was never given instructions. Love how he was still able to take pictures-in his mind while another held the camera and actually took the shot he was describing.
Love taking photos myself of architecture, it's fascinating to me.
Love hearing of the superfood intake and the other things Kevin is able to find out about that he puts into practice and all research done on his part to cure himself..
Love little things that come back to life that others take for granted.
Treasure every second you have vision and don't forget there's always someone out there with worse eye conditions and going through worse than you.
Received this review copy from the author via the publisher and this is my honest opinion.

After Kevin's initial anger, he helped himself by reaching out for help. The reaction of people was interesting. Some were kind, while others considered him judged him. Kevin's faith saved him.
