Trace,

I suggest you speak to your midwife about your worries they should be able to put you in touch with those who can help.

Good luck.

Lesley.
Live long and Prosper.

Hi Trace,

I have found the RNIB very good in the past when I have asked about coping in new situations with bed sight.

They would probably be worth a call too for advice.

Gareth...

"Bed sight"??? I take it that's like "bed hair" (the state of your hair when you wake up in the morning). So "bed sight" must be fuzzy vision when you first wake up, (or the bed being within viewing distance?)

(Sorry, couldn't help myself!)
Keep looking for rainbows.

Liz,

We use Bed Sight enough it will be in the Oxford Dictionary and your analergy is very true.

This is where the suggested spell checker would be so bad for me as I had to get my wife to spot what was wrong, that is how bad my dyslexia is :D

Dyslexia and typing with no lenses, it is a wonder people can understand any of my comments. :D
