ABOUT MYSELF
I am male in my early 70s and live near Victoria Park Cardiff, I was involved in a motor accident in 1973, and am registered as severely sight impaired Since then I have had no sight at all in my left eye, and only had partial sight in my right eye. At the moment I cant see anything out of my right eye as it has a very dense cataract, I am due to have the cataract removed the end of July but I am not sure what difference, if any, this will make to my vision.
I have some cognitive impairment and my memory is not as good as it was, occasionally, due to these issues I sometimes get frustrated with myself.
I enjoy watching/listening to the game shows on TV.
