Description During Books Unblinded: One Man’s Courageous Journey through Darkness to Sight
Unblinded: One Man’s Courageous Journey Through Darkness to Sight by Traci Medford-RosowMajor plus to buying this book is that the author is donating all proceeds to the Mitochondrial Disease Foundation and it's a super good read.
Starts with praise for authors works and summary of this book.
Story starts out with how and why this book was written.
Diary entry type book that shows when he first noticed the loss of vision and his drinking.
I can totally relate to this story as I've also gone to specialist every 6 months for the past 50+ years of my life due to an unknown disease/condition.
Exams and tests done I am very familiar with, devastating outcome for him.
I have been very lucky with the doctors I've seen and I know all the technical terms when educating a new doctor due to change in health insurance. Some I know more about the disease then they do.
At times the book is hard for me to read as I've been there done that and didn't even want the tshirt.
Love help the support group gave him I've not had a coffee table in centuries as I'd never see it and trip over it.
So Many brick walls, you can't even imagine the obstacles to just get help.
There are pictures throughout the book showing what is going on during it's specific chapter.
I recall the hurtful comments from family the first time I used my cane at a family outing-they treated me like I had cancer or something they'd catch.
Not my parents though they were 100% behind me and I think at times they felt they were to blame for my lack of vision.
Learned by listening to this book how to use the sweeping method when using the cane-I was never given instructions. Love how he was still able to take pictures-in his mind while another held the camera and actually took the shot he was describing.
Love taking photos myself of architecture, it's fascinating to me.
Love hearing of the superfood intake and the other things Kevin is able to find out about that he puts into practice and all research done on his part to cure himself..
Love little things that come back to life that others take for granted.
Treasure every second you have vision and don't forget there's always someone out there with worse eye conditions and going through worse than you.
Received this review copy from the author via the publisher and this is my honest opinion.

I really liked this book. I found Kevins journey and transformation inspirational. I liked the way the book was organized with Kevins journal entries spliced into each chapter and his full journal presented at the end of the book. The book is another lesson/example that attitude is everything. Cudos to Kevin for his courage and Traci for her presentation.Amazing
I had a hard time putting this book down. Wasn't sure what to expect when I started it however it was a very interesting read for me. Ihave dealt with vision challenges but nothing like total blindness.
Anyone looking for an inspiring, well-told story of the power and grace of the human spirit will love this book. In clear, unsentimental prose, Unblinded tells the story of one mans sudden blindness from a neurological condition and his journey through despair and alcoholism to acceptance and growth. I came to love Kevin, and I genuinely ugly-cried several times, but in a good way. I learned so much, too, about what it means to navigate the world without sight, and I especially loved all the
Amazing storyKevin lives in my neighborhood in NYC and for the last 17 yrs while walking my dogs I would always run into him with his dog(s), now sweet Elias. He has always been so positive all these years despite his sight condition. I will never forget the day I ran into him and he told me he could see me! His sight was coming back! This is truly an inspiring book to give hope and belief in miracles. I highly recommend this book. It should be required reading on every book list.
Sometimes you read a book that moves you, stays with you long after you've read the last page, you can definitely say those things about Unblinded. I'm always interested to learn about people and how they manage life altering situations. I cannot imagine losing my eyesight, and to read about the journey Kevin went on through all his years blind, was inspirational. I enjoyed that he allowed his emotions to be part of the story as he maneuvered life and the many challenges that he faced. I believe
After Kevin's initial anger, he helped himself by reaching out for help. The reaction of people was interesting. Some were kind, while others considered him judged him. Kevin's faith saved him. Never underestimate the power of prayer. However, I did not like the negative references to the Catholic church. I find comfort and strength from my religion.
