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?

:12:07
I said: Did you say something?
:12:10
Yes, but you don't answer.
:12:17
I said I hadn't heard anything.
:12:21
We were very frightened.
:12:25
My deafness was very strange.
:12:28
First it was the right ear...
:12:31
and then the left one.
:12:34
I wanted to see a doctor...
:12:36
I took foot-baths, I prayed...
:12:43
but it wasn't any use.
:12:45
Gradually I lost my hearing...
:12:51
up to a rest of 5%.
:12:54
I fled to religion.
:12:59
It gave me strength...
