Morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
A woman suffering from spatial orientation phenomenon, a neurological syndrome, sees
everything upside down, all the time.

At work she uses an upside down computer monitor and at home she relaxes in front of an
upside down TV that’s been stacked on top of the normal one the rest of her family watches.

"They say my eyes see the images the right way up but my brain changes them . . . They told
me they've seen the case histories of some people who write the way I see, but never someone
quite like me.

Seeing things with the correct orientation is one of the many things we take for granted, it's sad to hear about this condition Bojana Danilovic has, which no one knows too much about and with no known cures or medications to correct it, but she seems to have adapted to it.

Isn’t she the same person who invented the first pineapple upside-down cake years ago?

I would think that eye glasses could be made to flip the field of view for her.

Wonder if she drives? I mean - everything would be turned upside down...

I have some relatives that are 'backasswards', but that's another story. Maybe that lady needs some rose colored glasses, that way everything would be ok...
