I’m afraid it’s almost time to say goodbye. My eyesight is failing. The central part of my left eye is a dark cloud now. I can barely see the text on the computer now. I have some decent peripheral vision, but that doesn’t help me use the computer. It’s very hard now.<\/p>\n
I will try to keep blogging, more or less, as long as I can. But it seems to be going fast now. This morning I could still read the computer fairly well. Only parts of my central vision were cloudy, now tonight it’s almost all of it. I imagine that it will only be a few days now before I have to give up.<\/p>\n
It’s still an open question whether the screen reader from the sight central people will be able to help me use the computer. I don’t know how well it will work with the blog. Perhaps I will still be able to come on and write a little every now and then. I don’t know. <\/p>\n
While I still have the chance I’d like to thank everyone who has been with me over the years. Everyone who has read and commented. You have meant a great deal to my mental health. Through all the ups and downs I have found love and support from a lot of swell people. Thank you every one.<\/p>\n
I hope plume.dk will stay up without problems. If more webhost issues arise then I might not be able to fix them, though. I will do my best to keep it running though. Not so long I started a little project (djaliplume.blogspot.com) aiming to collect all my old entries from diaryland and this blog. And maybe livejournal too. All my writings in one stable blog where they’d be unlikely to disappear. So they’d still be there even after I’m long gone. Not that I have written anything terribly important. But still, it’s 10 years of my life. I’d like to be remembered. Even if it’s just by a couple of people. Even if it’s just by a random google search every now and then. But alas, it was not to be. We’re talking thousands of entries. And too little time left. It doesn’t all matter so much. At least I have made some connections with people around the world. 10 years ago I never imagined that would happen.<\/p>\n
This isn’t goodbye, but in case I don’t get the chance to go on my own terms, I just wanted to make sure I’d said how much I have appreciated y’all. <\/p>\n
Yesterday I went to the hospital for the checkup. And as I guessed they still can’t say much or do much. They can’t really see any changes and they can’t do more than they already are. My left eye is ending up like my right one and there’s not much to do about it. I guess all that’s left to hang a little hope on is the removal of the oil, when the time comes. Maybe that will somehow make some difference. But not really much hope of that. Now it’s more a matter of dealing with the new way of life that I will have to lead.<\/p>\n
I had my first foot therapy today. It went very well. Now I have a break in my schedule. But there will be much more to deal with soon of course. Mainly with the sight central and blind society of course. And going back o the hospital in a couple of weeks. I’m pretty much done using the computer for fun, but I’ll have lots to do at least. <\/p>\n
See you all again soon, I hope. Take care out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
