I was just going to write about how the blog seemed to be back and running normally, and then it goes down again. Whoops. But at least this time it was a shorter outage and there was no data loss. So fingers crossed that it will run shmoothly now.<\/p>\n
What else is going? Did I mention that the hospital referred me to the “sight central” place? They have called me up and we now have an appointment on Monday. One of their workers will come to my apartment and have a chitchat. To see if there is anything they can do to help me deal with my new situation. And by “new situation” I mean the fact that I am going blind. In case you were wondering. We’ll see what they have to offer. I might talk to them about getting temporary glasses while the oil is in my eyes. But at this point I figure it might be easier to just go without glasses until they remove the oils. It should only be another 3-4 months I think. And I guess I’m coping ok. As well as can be expected for someone who can hardly see anything. I can get through the coming months ok. And then hopefully the doctors will take the oil out and I’ll get glasses and then I’ll be able to see. See a little more, at least. At least I hope so. That would be nice. As long as it doesn’t get worse. As long as I don’t go completely blind. <\/p>\n
Perhaps I’m going to get a cane. You know, like proper blind people have. I’m not sure I could get myself to use it outside though. I don’t want to attract attention. And I’d also feel a little like a fraud, because, you know, I’m not completely<\/i> blind. I’m worried people will think I’m blind and then find out I can see a little and then beat me up for pretending to be blind. No no, I now that’s silly. I have just spent my entire life trying to blend into the crowd and not be noticed. I don’t want to stand out. IT’s the same thing with the sun glasses. I mentioned that I had gotten sun glasses to help me against the sight-destruction that the sun does, right? It’s not easy to put on sun glasses either, because I feel like only cool people wear sun glasses. Or people who think they are cool. I’m not cool, and I don’t think I’m cool. I feel like a fraud. But I do need them when the sun shines, otherwise I can’t see antything at all.<\/p>\n
What else? I went to the doctor yesterday. My private doc. We decided to get my feet checked out after all. The doc said that they looked okay. But the pulse was a little weak. Especially in the right foot. But we knew that already, decreased sensitivity and blodflow. Nothing new. He gave me a referral to a foot therapist, so I’m going there in a couple of weeks. Let them take care of my feet. It’s not something I’m too happy about. New places and people and all. But these days my social phobia isn’t my biggest worry of course. I don’t want to end up without eyes and feet in 6 months. That would be a drag.<\/p>\n
After the visit to the doctor I went to the playground. And said hello to the goats. They seemed to recognise me even though I’m not wearing glasses anymore. They were happy to see me and I to see them. They are one of the few really good things left in my life. Always manage to make me feel happy and carefree, for a little while. Just sitting there on the bench with them grassing around me, coming over for treats and scratches every now and then. That is time well spent.<\/p>\n
I don’t even bring my camera anymore. In case you were wondering why I’m no longer posting thousands of goat pictures and videos. I just can’t opeperate the camera very well anymore. Let alone get decent shots. And getting them online and all. Perhaps when I get my glasses eventually, I’ll be able to post some good goatiness. I’m sure you miss being spammed with the same 3 basic shots of Magnethe. I know I do.<\/p>\n
In other news, I have had warm supper for two days straight. How can that be when I am almost unable to cook for myself, you may ask? It is because my dad found a local place, a sort of community center thing I think, where they cook for the locals. And where you can take food out. And my dad has brought me food from there. Chicken yesterday and ham today. It’s not amazing food, but it’s warm and varied with vegetables and such. It’s healthier than what I am able to make for myself. And it just goes to show how big a help my dad is, how much he is willing to do for me. Getting food and bringing it to me. It’s not going to be every day. Because I am notoriously picky and afraid of onions and all. But 1-2-3 times a week. Much better than ordering junk food or just getting cold bread. Very nice.<\/p>\n
Did I mention that I have started using my exercise bike again? A few weeks since the last eye surgery now, so it should be safe. Just a slow, steady rythm to get back on track. Help get the blood flowing again now that I can’t go out as much, at least not on my own.<\/p>\n
I think that is about all for now. I’m glad the blog is back. I felt cut off from the world while it was down. And by the world I mean you guys who read and comment. I’m so used to writing down my thoughts and getting a little social interaction though the blog. It was odd not having that. Good to have it back. Everything’s not lost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
