How do I know what I look like?

A very good question for me to answer. I really never knew what I looked like until the day I was able to see myself in the mirror after my first cornea transplant so many years ago.

When I first saw myself I almost fainted from feelings of surprise, shock, and great excitement. Shock and surprise because I realized that I could actually see myself in the mirror. I was able then to see my facial features and from there as the days went by I could make out the rest of me.

It was quite a shock to discover what I looked like and I quite liked me if I could say so. Over the years I came to accept my looks and I was able to capture and store this image in my memory bank. Now that my vision is at a minimum, I have to depend on this memory to keep me going. I am very sure however that my memory of myself may not match what I look like today; I am older now and probably have more grey hairs hanging around than when I could see myself.
