Thank you for sharing your story with me. My ex mother in law often runs into things also. She is 100% blind though---lost her eye sight slowly---but I watch her and you would never know she was blind. I guess when she was losing her vision though--she would run into things because her side vision went first (I know there is another name for it--but my mind is blank right now..lol)---She gets around well though--she is amazing to watch.
