Devastated

I'm totally devastated!! I went to the eye doctor yesterday because my right eye has been getting progressively more hazy that now it is seriously affecting my vision. I don't know what I was expecting. Maybe something had gotten in my eye and I didn't realize it or maybe my medication needed to be adjusted or something...anything other than what it is.

I have cataracts!! This would still be devastating news if I had the means to correct it but since I don't, it is horrifying!! I meet with the surgeon on January 6th, but from the research I've done so far I'm looking at between $3000 - $5000 per eye, and I will need them both done.

It's kind of funny. The eye doctor was so nonchalant about it. You just need minor surgery to correct it...no big deal, but it's a huge deal when you can't afford the minor surgery that is going to save your vision. This has progressed from nothing to operable in just a few short weeks, so I don't know how much longer I'm going to be able to see out of my right eye. My left one will need to be done as well but is not as bad as the right.

Damon swears we'll do whatever we had to to get them done, but short of finding the ever elusive money tree I really don't know how that is going to happen. Even my wonderful husband cannot make money appear out of thin air. So I am terribly depressed and feeling sorry for myself, only this time I can't say that "this too shall pass" because it won't. It will keep getting worse until I can't see at all
