Life.....who needs movies and soaps when you can walk a mile in my shoes! LoL I know there's plenty of people that can say that. So I have a lil something on my mind about my life right now.....I just found out yesterday that I need to have an operation on my eyes. I'm taking the news alright I guess. But my nerves are goin'.
Well, see...that's what I'm afraid of. They're going in to fix some damage. When I was 17 the shunt I have malfunctioned and all the fluid in my head was pressing on my optic nerves....causing them to be severely scarred. I know what it's like being blind. I'm prayin' hard that everything goes okay. I guess I'm just a lil more scared cuz I don't have any family near me. But I'm a survivor. I've had lots of surgeries...just never on my eyes. I'm trying to stay in good spirits....but I had a creepy thought that maybe I went blind for that short time before, to see how I would do...and possibly prepare me for the long run. I know that's a terrible thought! But whatever happens, it's just another story for my book. I just hope I can still see to write it....lol
Im sorry but i dont really have any descent words of support for you, im guessing it would be hard for you not having anyone around to be there, i dont really like people around if im having an op but that's just me, are the chances of you losing your vision pretty slim? lol well if it doesnt go to plan you can always tell your story to someone and they can write it. I hope it goes well. maybe you going blind the first time was to let you know to appreciate what you see.
OH BELIEVE ME....I DO!!! And I have a lot of respect for the deaf and blind. I just worry a lil cuz I have a hyperactive puppy and live on a 2nd floor apartment. I'm moving out of AZ in January though. It's fine if you don't have anything to say for support. It's not every day someone as young as me has the health problems I do. And yet, I get by okay. Not perky happy. (thank God) but I'm I guess in neutral. Just keep telling myself "no matter what I'm still gonna be me." Oh crap! 4am almost. I should've been in bed a while ago. Gotta go to another appt. later today. I'll be a grinch at my appt. if I stay up any longer. Good night!

Ever since I was a kid I have always been shy. Sooo, I saw females cared about my shyness, and they helped me to achieve overcoming my shyness, and this is the best thing I experienced in my life worth talking about.

Seems we have a lot in common.
I have seen and experience some things that I would rather NOT talk about publicly.
