Blind Leading the Blind

So I have one blind dog that I occasionally walk.  She's been blind for a few years now.  She is and older dog (Ginger), and lives with her litter mate brother (Oreo).  She's been blind for a few years now and is very comfortable with her disability.  Unfortunately for her, Oreo doesn't make the best seeing eye dog.  They leash the two dogs together, but he just runs Ginger into things.  Ginger gets along on her own just fine at home, and when she knows where she is.  It is only when she goes out into the wider world that you'd even notice that she can't see where she is going.

I am a soccer player, have played my entire life.  Wednesday night I got my head on a rocket shot at close range, and it knocked me silly.  Not an entirely unusual thing.  But usually the blind spots disappear fairly quickly, like within five minutes.  This time there was one, it was huge, and it didn't go away for the rest of the game, although it did shrink a bit.  When it was still there the next morning, I figured I'd better go make sure I hadn't detached my retina, which can happen from blunt force trauma.  Fortunately, I hadn't, and the blind spot is supposed to shrink and then disappear.  Good news!  But in order to check me out, they did give me drops to dilate my eyes yesterday.

I am sure you can see where this is going.  The drops usually go away fairly quickly, but not for me, not yesterday anyway.  And because of the drops, my eyesight was all screwy, plus I still have the blind spot.  So indeed, we did have a situation yesterday where it was the blind leading the blind!  Well, the very blind at the end of the leash, and the nearly blind following along behind at any rate.  And yes, I did have someone else drive me.  Just another adventure in dog walking!
