Even people who know this make no allowances for my forgetting their name.<br /><br />Last week a patient absconded from the ward and I got into trouble for not chasing after him. Explaining that if I saw him I would just run straight past him without recognition (he was wearing jeans and T-shirt, standard male attire) made no difference. <br /><br />I've found that the area where people make least allowance for disability is where it crosses the rules of 'normal' social interaction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705714898680615192.post-35381323799097490072013-02-04T22:36:32.821+00:002013-02-04T22:36:32.821+00:00Mike, you shouldn't be sorry! What neither of ...Mike, you shouldn't be sorry! What neither of us have said was that it was VERY early in the morning, at a time when no-one should be expected to have meaningful social interactions and when I certainly was both sleep- and caffeine- deprived. (I like the irony of the subject of your training though..). Also, because we always see you guys either in our house or yours, I absolutely know who you are in those situations and so therefore never expect nor require you to tell me. There's no reason that you should know the rules for meeting me in a different context because I've never told you them.

I'm left thinking about how things happen between people- are co-created, and notice that while you would like you parents' friends to do better, you don't seem to require the same of me. While I admire your self-examination and determination to talk about your sight more directly with people, as your friend I think you should ask more of me. I also know something about what you can and cannot see, but failed to say something like "Hi Hannah, it's Mike." and having not done so then compounded things by not acknowledging this. Then, as I say, I've spent all day working hard at careful, concious encounters with people I care about a whole heap less than you. So, I'm sorry, and will also try to do better next time I'm in a similar situation! Michaelhshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809883919329653930noreply@blogger.com
