Today I realized that I very well may be losing more sight in my right eye...and there's not a thing I can do, without health insurance...nothing whatsoever. There's some other issues as well, but that's bothering me most, 'coz it's not just my voice I need on my job, but my eyes, as well.
God bless America? Yeah, well, America's "God" is alseep at the wheel, when it comes to universal healthcare.
I was told about my eye in '01, so I knew, like I know about the heart and kidneys, so it's not a surprise, as such. And, my great-gran and my great-aunt both were blind, and managed...so I guess I can cope--it's only 1 eye.
I guess I just didn't expect it to happen overnight, like this. I feel stupid saying this, but sometimes I do wish I had someone to care for me (physically, I mean)...never thought I'd wish that. I've always more or less managed on my own--I'm quite used to being alone, certainly.
I'm NOT feeling sorry for myself, honestly I'm not. I'm just...worried...and, yeah, still sad. Nancy's got the blues.
Think I'll go home and pop in a Dr Who DVD.

I have a failed corneal transplant in my left eye and can totally empathise with how you must be feeling. There's a sense of grief and loss when the body lets you down. That's perfectly normal. I'm a one-eyed person too.
On a lighter note, poor DT!! Love him, but this blog is so funny. Slight beer paunch? Surely not. Mohawk? Premature balding? Oh, God, not the hair!!!
Love the sarcastic comments below the pictures. I cackle out loud. Keep it up, you're a brilliant writer.
