I’m still having the devil of a time with my eyes <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

for the first time in my life I understand the term “tired eyes” and when they are not tired they are sore or itchy…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

my extending or “big picture” vision is ok for the most part…it’s the minute stuff that’s a challenge…I have to work at focusing for reading the written word on the page or on the screen<\/p>\n

The prescribed drops..while working on the big issue…burn like a sonofabitch….however, we’ve pretty much been able to ascertain that these headaches are stemming from overuse of my eyes coupled with the Cogan’s Dystrophy and I sincerely hope there’s been no long term damage…<\/p>\n

My computer time is limited because of the focusing issue and this new medication makes me much more light sensitive (like I needed help eh?) so I have to save the lion’s share of what time I have for work…cos I do have to pay rent <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

the real kicker for me is the doing nothing when I’m off thing…I can sit still with the best of them, that’s as a result of years of being sick…but for the last 10 years if I’m not on line…I’m reading or watching TV….<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

and right now it’s not like I can read or watch TV – but I can drive…cos I can see the big picture….<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

bah! <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yup…I am once again…a paradox of my own making… <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have no idea how long it will be before I can go back to spending regular time on line…and I’m sorry for that… I feel like I’m letting people down <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

but I also know if I don’t take care of my eyes…I may damage them permanently…and that would mean that I’d be this kind of limited this for the rest of my life…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I mean really…. I worked as a volunteer for the Ride for Sight<\/a> for 20 years…. I musta learned nuttin!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
