Today I went to a eye specialist since I have rosacea diagnosed since 10 years and now the "rose" has been spreading to my left eye with a 40% loss of sight on that eye. Like I don't have enough problems before.

So now I'm in a serious risc of getting blind on one eye due to the cornea detoriating. I may get a transplant though if the deteriorating rate is keeping this rate. It's always something smacking a dude trying to just stay alive down in the shoes.

The cornea is so perforated and dry I have to use artificial tear fluids to fill out the holes in it to be able to see. So it's not my glasses that's wrong or anything like that, just the craters from the chronical skin infection I have....

f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f*****g life.

I'll go see the eye specialist again in two weeks. Taking cortisone eye drops, combined with two different antibiotics and of course tetracycline to keep my face somewhat normal. Sigh.

I cheered myself up with a old Jackie Chan movie so that I had a few laughs and will have two kids staying with me this weekend. So there's anyway hope of life....

I feel sorry for you, that's tough. Are you going to lose the sight in the other eye as well?

I was born blind in one eye and I don't think of it as a big problem. But then again, I have never seen with two eyes.

It's good you can still see the positive thing in life.

Nah, it's annoying to lack the stereoscopic distance detection. Firstly because the fishing with a very special equipment normaly making me hit a dia 30cm spot without a problem 40 meters away, secondly because I because of the eye lost some balance. Sounds weird, but eyes and balance is quite connected.

I used to be able to run a 125cc trial bike like some people skate or use bikes, but it can also be aging making the loss of balance though.

Annoying. Because the eyesight may cause my drivers license to be revoked. Not that I drive a lot, but just annoying. I've managed to keep the drivers license through physically induced epilepsy grand mal seizures. Normaly that alone would revoke the drivers license, but I respond so good on the medication for that I actually have managed to keep the license.

I've just figured out a long time ago that life sucks, but I prefer to live to take care of my children. Its about as easy as that. And people trying to s**t me, will be punished with words.

Nintendo Wii, feel fear!
