It is only fair to tell a blind person you are walking off, even though most "blind" people do have a little vision. I left him alone and ignored his railing (I am not going to dissect the whole thing other than to say he was confused). It stopped after a while. It was quiet for a while. And then he apologized to me.
I forgave him, the Bible is pretty clear on that, and made a joke, but these incidents are troubling. I got him to agree to see a neurologist, and found one nearby in the paratransit service area that takes Medicare. That is the great thing about Houston, we have a specialist behind every corner.
He was not ready to make an appointment but I am going to remind him about it. I think he is taking the "If I don't get diagnosed then nothing is wrong with me" approach which is all wrong. Like I told Ron, a lot of times they can fix something in the early stages but it is too late later on.
If I had to guess I would say alcohol is affecting his mind. You cannot consume a fifth a day and be OK out of it, especially if your nutrition is lacking. But we will see.
I made a short Spotty video. He's in Ron's wheelchair.
