Growing up I was regular reader of the X-Men and related comics in the Marvel universe. For the uninitiated, the X-Men (even the women were X-Men) all have genetic mutations giving them a super power. Some had the ability to shoot laser blasts, others had super strength, the ability to become invisible, the ability to release enough energy to cause an explosion.
Beautifully written as always, Colin. Thanks for sharing the journey. May you continue to read and write. Your perspective will forever be enjoyed by this reader. I know you have access to some wonderful resources if you need them. I agree with the views on audiobooks. The narrator can make or break the experience... and I like creating my own movie in my head to correspond to what I am reading. Best wishes to you on the path ahead. I believe in you and AGREE.... why not a pajama compatible fedora?? harumph!
That sounds a lot like my decade long journey of hearing loss. I have some sound, I lip-read well (when we're not masked), but I don't hear people coming up behind me and I've been forced out of a lot of personal and professional activities over time. I spend a lot of time advocating for others with hearing loss, especially those who are late deafened. I want to post on a neon sign somewhere that fewer than 10% of people with hearing loss sign. Most of us don't, but captions are greatly appreciated.
I can't imagine being unable to read. I admire your attitude and wish you the best.
