Re: frustrated with blindness (read post if you want context)
@53
Me, my brother, and most other blind people I know in person would be able to take care of someone with a broken leg. Also my brother, also blind, literally helps paint. Obviously nothing fine detail, and some help is needed at the end, but you can totally do the big part where you take a roller and roll it on the wall. Neither of these tasks requires any particular skill beyond whoever's leading it being willing to involve you and, in the case of painting, whatever perverse desire makes my brother decide that painting a wall is fun.
I suspect everyone's busy not trusting you with this stuff, but being in front of someone who might fall so they can grab your shoulders or whatever doesn't really require much sight or even particularly good mobility skills as long as you're talking about your house. Unless you're just sitting there not even trying, put the blame on the people relegating you to the couch because obviously the blind person is useless in that situation, not on yourself. Just being there in the case of emergencies and otherwise doing nothing at all is sufficient to allow the rest of the family to leave you and dad home alone, but I suspect they didn't even do that based off how you're talking about this.
