Got a few recommendations...

1.) You’re totally right about Braille. Learning it with your eyes isn’t going to do you much good, you need tactile resources. I’d suggesting checking out $1. They run correspondence courses that I believe are cheap or free for people with vision impairments.

2.) You should make contact with a state agency ASAP. Many states have a Division of Blind services or something similar. Try to make an appointment with them and get in the system. It could open up a lot of doors to training programs and assistive technology.

3.) You should definitely get a cane, but you’ll also need orientation and mobility training to use it as safely and effectively as possible. Where I live (Florida) O&M training can be obtained through the state, local blind associations or advocacy groups like the NFB. This might be bias, but I’d strongly suggest starting with a pencil-tip cane.

4.) Braille is well and good, but we live in a high tech world. It would be good to get acquainted with a screen-reader like ZoomText or JAWS for your computer and Text-to-Speech for your phone. It’s an intimidating prospect at first, but very doable with a bit of training and lots of practice. Once again, the state, blind associations and advocacy groups are your friend.

5.) You have a really good attitude and I respect that, but a bit of honesty here. Almost everyone who loses their sight struggles with it emotionally. You probably already know it better than I do, since I was born with my disability. Just realize that the helplesness, anger and sadness you may feel are completely valid and try not to beat yourself up over it. Joining a blindness advocacy group like the ACB or NFB could help. A lot of people there have gone through the same things and can commiserate or offer advice.

Best of luck!
