Please don’t think I’m feeling sorry for myself.
I’m not.
Never have.
I realise how lucky I am.
I’ve seen my son and nephew grow up. Seen beautiful views, been independent.
I will keep on seeing these for a long time to come I hope.
I drove a car, for 29 years. A lot of people I’ve read about won\’t do that because this condition has started causing them problems far earlier.
There have been mothers blaming themselves because they have a little one at home that will never see the things I have. Parents aren’t to blame at all. Mine wouldn’t have even known they carried faulty genes they passed onto me.
There are parents with little tots that won’t see what there children look like when they get older. I have.
I still can see. I’m OK. This blog is to track it. For myself and for anyone that is interested in following my story. Which maybe their story too.
Facebook groups especially gave me an understanding of something I had never heard of. People who understood why I could see a leaf on a tree in the distance. But had to zoom in when looking on my phone.
It’s complicated. Hard to explain. Don’t really completely understand it myself.
I always appreciated the little things in life, just moreso now.
