My eyesight is not nearly as good. My hearing is probably going away. My memory is slipping too. But I'm still around.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was walking around legally blind. Now I have 20-20 vision. I can't believe I spent so many years blurry, but I think that coincides with how I was feeling. Now I notice if people are watching me, but I also smile right back if someone waves, which helps.
I used to have 20/20 vision, believe it or not; that's gone because of all the reading I did when I wasn't supposed to, reading in the back of a car, waiting for each street light to go past so I could grab another sentence.
When you get older, two things happen to you. You begin to lose your hearing, and I forget what the other one is.
I'm really nearsighted, which has served me well.
I had my hearing aid fixed today so that I could properly hear you. I can't see as well. I now have - this has stopped me from smoking - a pacemaker, have for about the last 15 years. No, I don't like getting old.
Nothing is going to improve my hearing. I've only got to prevent it from getting worse.
Close to birth... I lost, like, 80 percent of my hearing, and I had difficulty speaking.
My eyes don't work, at least not fully, because they are blocked by disease. The scene around me appears through a kind of curtain, a haze.
Portraying visual impairment is difficult. I can see what's going on, but I have to act like I can see nothing. And this can be quite a challenge.
I'm thankful that my memory is good because my vision is going.
