:10:04
especially in my head.
:10:11
The doctor said
it was my growing up.
:10:18
A second one agreed.
:10:20
The third understood I'd fallen.
:10:25
I always did my best at school.
:10:30
I was very attentive.
:10:32
One day the teacher told me:
:10:35
Fini, you should write
on the lines.
:10:42
I said yes, of course.
:10:47
Then I understood...
:10:51
I couldn't see the lines
any more.
:10:54
I wanted to learn
embroidering...
:10:59
but I had to leave
that very soon.
:11:05
They told me to go home...
:11:08
because I couldn't see enough.
:11:12
I didn't care
about embroidering any more.
:11:18
That was the beginning
of the end.
:11:22
First I went blind.
:11:26
I was 15 years and 9 months.
:11:29
Then I had to stay in bed.
:11:32
My eyes hurt very much.
:11:36
At 18 I began to have
ear troubles.
:11:44
At first I didn't understand
those sounds...
:11:50
and one day
I was completely deaf.
:11:56
Mother talked to me
and I didn't hear her.
:11:59
She came to my bed and asked:
Why don't you answer me?
