Blind in the US?

My husband lost his job and the market is slow here- also the first time looking for a job since he lost his sight. He is getting interest in his CV from America(New York and Colorado). What is it like living there when partially sighted?

- access to things without driving- safe crossings and public transport etc?
-shopping?

-general support (legal frameworks followed by companies- eg. In UK work had to install software and train him)?
-how safe do you feel?
-other things I haven't thought of that may be different between the UK and the US eg in some parts Turkey there a potholes and obstacles everywhere, you cant assume there wont be a hole in the pavement (although the light was much better and he was actually okay getting around)
He struggles walking around even in London now , bumping into people, as we moved to a small town after his sight loss. I dont drive (but could learn) and wouldn't go with him initially.

Is there any comfortable way to feed against a wooden headboard?

On my second baby with a short break when I was pregnant and neck is really aching from night time feeds. Does anything exist to make this okay for my neck? I have to lean back when feeding as fast letdown.

I want to give the Ikea highchair to my youngest daughter for weaning but as there is a small age difference my toddler is still using it.

I am wondering whether to get her another Ikea one or if there is a good solution that is a bit comfier? Ideally not plastic.

I also dont want to just put in a chair she can easily escape from in case we have the oven on etc and I am breastfeeding/busy with baby.

I’ve tried Pact, Rave, Exhale, Bluebird , Monmouth coffee in London and some local ones from the South West. I’m hoping to discover some smaller regional coffee makers. Bonus if they are cheaper than here in the South, and extra bonus if they do 1kg bags.

I found some lovely Norfolk hot chocolate I would never have found without this sub.
