You say you have no idea what that is well join the crowd! It is an awful monster that I live with everyday. It attacked me when I least expected it. I was sitting in a meeting (a very boring meeting I might add) when suddenly I had an awful pain in my left eye. Me being me decided that even though it felt like someone had stabbed me in the eye with an ice pick I should finish out my work day. I noticed that everything in my left side vision was blurry but I stumbled through my day and drove home. The next morning I knew something was really wrong I was not able to see out of my left eye! I will never forget the eye doctor off handedly saying ,not to me but the resident, she is blind in that eye. I must have a made noise because the resident said to me I am sorry.
This was the start of a long journey. It took 2yrs and me falling and being unable to get up on my own before I was told I had Devics. It is very rare and no one seems to know about it unless they are a nuro versed in it. I have no love for the monster but we have come to know each other well. It put me in the hospital and I fought my way out. It put me in a wheelchair and I fought my way out of it. Will I win against the monster? Doctors tell me no. See the monster always wins in the end. Will I keep fighting it? Oh yeah with my last breath!
I will talk about my monster Devics from time to time. I promise this will not become a disease blog. LOL But Devics has helped me see the world a bit differently. I am now disabled and I realised how often I have over looked people with disabilities. I no longer do that, I am very aware of the hardships. He has taught me other things I will share in time. So now you know a little more about the monster and me.
