This is all about stroke, from the perspective of a victim (participant) with a sense of humor. My grandmother was blind since youth, and read braille. One magazine was called "Our Special". It had a section called ABAPITA (Ain't Blind a Pain in the Arse, as my polite grandmother put it. People wrote in with stories about living sightless, many of them funny, some just giving a peek into their world, if you will. The closest thing I have found on the web, doing a quick search, is called blindskills, which has a section called ABAPITA. An example, an essay by a blind golfer:

I am hoping for similar stories from strokies, as I am going to call us, since I don't like
'stroke victim" -- it's too long. I know there is a site for the National Stroke Association, but I want to be more like an informal therapy group.
more later,
