Currently no migraines, no peeping Tom or light sensitivity. She has one French door with the 12 glass panels and has a blind over the window, then she bought a bamboo shade blind and installed inside the blind directly against window. Today I noticed she rigged another curtain rod with a blackout curtain on the same doorway. Similar situation in family room. She has a blind, then a curtain and then another blackout curtain on top. She never opens the windows or draws the blind and yes I would have to use a flashlight to get around on a sunny day. I think there is something going on mentally and I have brought it up to her that it was so dark in the house and try to open a blind or curtain and she looks very uneasy when I do.
Even for myself at 70, my computer desk faces a window so I can see the neighborhood... I use to have the window curtains opened fully any time I was in the room. Now when the sun is out, and I am in my home office, I need to close the curtains part way as it now too bright for me.
Oh, I just remembered, my Mom also use to always closed the shades and blinds to keep the sun from fading the furniture and the rugs.
