I know it is with the best of intentions so some of you may think I am an ungrateful ass after reading this but that is okay. I don’t care. But you have to admit it is the perfect photo for the post.
Anyway I have been on a unique, challenging and unwelcomed journey for the past seven plus months. I have been blessed with a tremendous outpouring of love, friendship and support. However, I get so annoyed when so people tell me that my brain will adapt or your good eye will increase its field of vision to compensate etc. Sorry but you have no idea what you are talking about - if for no other reason than everyone is a little bit different. Also please refrain from telling me about your friend that is a great golfer with one eye, or that he/she has gone back to doing everything they used to do even better than before.
Perhaps I should not be writing this missive in a bad mood but it has not been a good couple of days - not related at all to the eye but just not a good couple of days. And I decided to get this off my chest prior to the holidays.
I do not want to speak for anyone else that has gone through a mental or physical life changing experience but I am open to questions about my journey. Everybody is different and everybody has their story. I have used this forum to articulate my story while trying to make it informative about the process. It may be presumptous on my part but I think it is a pretty good version of Eye Cancer for Dummies while being a decent read.
While I am happy to answer questions but if you are someone I see on occasion and I have given you my card with the website for my blog and asked you to read it please do not ask any questions indicating you clearly have not read it. I get that does not make sense but hopefully those of you that are reading this can share with my non readers. I have been more open and candid in this forum and subject than anything else in the 58 years I have been around. You can share with the non-readers I am thinking about doing a video of me reading my blog for You Tube.
If you could not care less that is okay. Or better yet if you simply wish to talk about the SF Giants, the PGA or damn near anything else that is okay too. i greatly appreciate those of you that have followed along with me on this journey and have thought I would be done with these missives on several occasions and yet here I am. Again I will be doing a year end holdiday wrap up in December and am thinking that is it - but who knows.
God Bless!
