Bleppy Derp Girl
Greetings! I'm still alive. Long story, but I suffered a head injury in 2022 (because everything awful happened in 2022) that has affected my vision long term. I have 3 procedures on my eyes coming up this year. The last one will be invasive eye muscle surgery to correct strabismus (fancy term for double vision).
Until then, I won't be in SL. I cannot see properly. I'm only on my computer for things like taxes and vital things. SL, it turns out, it's not as vital as being as present as I can be for my family.
Meanwhile, I have my three cats and my very old dog, Farkus. I'm taking life a day at a time. My liver disease is stabilizing slowly. There have been good signs and then new things crop up. One thing that is tiring is having to explain "No, this was not caused by excessive drinking." I mean, alcoholism is a disease that can cause liver disease. I have an auto-immune disease that has caused liver disease. Why do we harshly judge people that do suffer from alcoholism in the first place, that those of us who got to the same place by another route feel defensive?
Anyway, enough blathering. Still alive, eyes suck, but I'm reasonably well.
Best wishes!
