There is no one path for healing Terry, what works for one may not work for another. If it gets you there, then that's all that counts, if not then you change tack and take a different path.
The power of the mind is quite incredible, what they think is meditation, is really self-indulgence in my opinion, but it has worked for some so that's fine. The god nutters who believe their god has cured them, are also using the power of their minds, but in most cases, there are other reasons for their remissions. Yet without that belief, they may not have any mind power at all, pity it's been such a destructive belief throughout its history and continues so.
I have a friend who lost their sight in their 20's, they were very sad and depressed for a long while until they got with some other sightless people and they taught them many things. That happened when they were getting their first guide dog. Now she can tell who's coming well before they come into view, uses acoustics for navigation and has an incredible sense of smell and hearing. Many times have tried to trick her by sneaking around and speaking to others softly, but she always hears and feels the slightest movement. Quite a lady and I'm sure if you do end up in that situation, you will turn it around and use it to your advantage.
I wish you the best for your new future, not into birthdays, never had one but hope yours goes well.
