My mom is adjusting to monocular vision (lost her eye recently) and she tried to pour a bowl of cereal and I just heard her bust out laughing. She told me to take a picture and "make a meme" lol. Thought I'd share because we had a good laugh about it (i.redd.it)

You're amazing thank you, I hate that I did not think of this, I'm new and hopped on for my mom looking for advice at first and she thought this was funny. Thanks so much again

I did this when I had my sight loss after a stroke. My remaining vision had no depth perception (it's ok now) and on my first night alone I thought I'd make some ramen as it should be impossible to screw up.
Ended up tipping it from the pan, completely messing the bowl and kitchen bench and covering my cat who had been sitting at my feet.
Ended up ordering a curry and eating it from the foil container.

If I may, suggest from a mostly monocular friend she hasn't met yet that she puts one hand on the rim of the bowl next time while she pours :)

Hehe that's so sweet and such good advice thank you :)

This. Same thing with coffee or she'll eventually end up with coffee in her lap.

Yes! Anything hot and being poured-do it on a counter with one hand on the receptacle.

This reminds me of me pouring mayonnaise into a glass bowl. The mayonnaise ended in a bit shiny shadow of the bowl on the table (hope it makes sense). My mom couldn't breathe laughing :D

Hahaha that's hilarious and amazing! I definitely had tears from laughing lol, my mom, too

And that's the best approach you can have. I make fun of my shitty vision basically all the time and my friends are making fun of it too. When strangers hear our conversations I'm sure they think the people must be bullying me but our humor is dark and awesome. :D

Honestly the best way to deal with trauma is a little jokey joke

Never mind newly blind. Hahaha!
I have been totally blind and have no vision for 20 years now most of my life. I manage really well usually.
One day I was pouring my soy milk. There was two containers on the counter I forgot about it. Completely.
So I found the container, poured it out, capped the milk carton, and was going to drink from the cup. After I put the carton away.
Waaaaaaaait….. its empty?
What the frick happened? Ummmm? Then I found my bowl of soy. Oh I poured it in to a bowl and not the cup. So I drank out of the bowl instead.
Pay attention pragmatist.

Hahaha for anyone who can’t see the picture there are two cornflakes inside the bowl and the rest is laying in a pile to the right of the bowl.
