Well this is Ridiculous

I am getting annoyed big time. My shoulder is feeling better but my eyes are blurrier than ever. And of course if I try to get into see my regular eye doctor here in Seminole it is like an act of God to even get him to see me... or I get attitude from his staff. to me it is an emergency i can't see I can't read the computer screen unless i zoom it in by 150 to 200 percent, I can't see the TV and i sure can not text (which everyone does to me). Reading a book is impossible luckily i listen to books on tape... and I am getting annoyed or pissed really fast. I can't get into see McRay until next week... so I am going to try this new doctor here the one that says he can help Macular Edema through Homeopathic. I am not sure about it all but I am so tired of not being able to make anything out... and I get headaches from straining to see... and I am scared I have done something to make this happen... and after the doctors told me that I could reverse these problems if I just lost weight. I know I need to lose weight and I am trying i really am... 15000 dollars worth of surgery to put a rubber band around my tummy and eating like a damn bird and I am trying... but to do all this and still not be able to save my sight or to have it become so blurred nothing can be done seems like a horrible horrible joke.... I am worried.. and hopefully in a few hours i can see this new doctor... hopefully he can just fit me in sometime today. oh God I hope so...

it's funny though my screen is blown up to 200 percent just so i can legibly type this stupid blog.

hope everyone is well....
