Treatment
Due to devestating financials issues since the split of me and my ex-fiance, I can no longer afford the echo treatment. For the month I had it, it was a wonderful experience I miss now everyday.
Prognosis or Current State of
Vision
i have lost all depth, color, and all gained near and far vision. back to my 20/400 acuity.
Family History
So far my daughters vision appears to be great.
Impact on My Life
Well, quite a hard one as of late. I had one month of better vision I will remember the rest of my life.
Positive Effects
I take nothing for granted.
Adaptations
Lots and lots of magnification.
Working
Currently unemployed. however beginning the process of public speaking at schools for children and teenagers with disabilities. I have let nothing stop me from trying everything and accomplishing what people said I am "unable" to do. I look forward to reaching those children who feel all hope is lost.
More About Me
Due to my poor financial state I cannot even afford painting supplies. As soon as I do I promise to finish my series, "the touch series" dedication to my beloved visually impaired community.
