I have been posting off/on about the wonders of recovery from an alcoholic marriage/divorce.

This month was the greatest challenge for me. I suddenly lost vision in one eye. I had wonderful support and emergency care from my eye dr. who went to great lengths helping me. I had a hard time initially calling and asking for the help so I send out gratitude to those who surround me at work and persist in pushing me to take better care of myself.

I have gratitude that I had a dr who was willing overcome my challenges and persisted in making sure that I did what was necessary to take care of me.

Then the specialist who responded so quickly to my drs request to see me immediately was amazing and on the medical team side they wanted to know who I was that I was getting such treatment.

My eye sight is recovering = it was temporary and related to another illness that I have but have not been getting treatment. I will be pursuing approp treatment now and feel very grateful for this incident which showed me what I needed to do.

I am appreciative for those who have shown me how to care for myself.

HI Kassie,

I am glad that you are going to be recovered, and that things worked out for the good. I am sorry you have been through this, but thankful for your good doctors. Glad you are ok . Must have been pretty frightening for you .
I send hugs,

Wow, how scary for you! I remember when I was newly divorced--I worried so much about who I would call if there was a crisis.

I've been living alone for eight years now, and I've been through all kinds of home ownership disasters, car problems, retirement, new job, traveling for work, and I am getting very comfortable dealing with them--with the help of friends and trusted professionals. I'm feeling more confident about handling STUFF than I ever have in my life. It's really quite empowering!

Yes, very scary! Glad it is all turning out ok, though.
