Hey @princessmewmew, sure you can! :-) In short: I permanently damaged a bone in my left foot while being on a 9-month sabbatical. It can't be operated on, so I have to learn to live with it. The exact story on the accident is written down here if you want to learn more: https://steemit.com/health/@soyrosa/limited-mobility-or-unlimited-stories-i-took-this-picture-only-moments-before-i-would-permanently-damage-my-foot :-)
Thanks for taking an interest! <3
oh dear, I just read the story. That's not good.
And you know, I can relate. I have never been able to see very well, and have always worn glasses. Since high school, until bout five years ago, I was lucky to wear contact lenses. Then, I stopped wearing them for about a year, and when I went back to try to get some contacts, I struggled to find a fit.
Fast forward five years, and I still haven't found lenses that can fit. My eyes naturally make a lot of proteins, which means usual contact lenses are out of the question.
I am actually testing a $1500 pair at the moment, and they are my last hope. If they don't work, my ophthalmologist has said he won't be able to help me. Perhaps I will consider surgery, but the issue with my eyes is muscular, and after some time, the surgery will reverse naturally. So I am not sure I want to spend that sort of money ($15000) on a reversible issue.
I live in hope and pray that these lenses work out!
Thank you for sharing your story with me x
Oh wow! Same here, thank you for sharing your story! <3
It's amazing how much we take our bodies for granted and how much of the worries people have about them we don't notice.
Eyes are so precious and such a big part of our experiences and communications, I can only imagine how much stress it must give you to not be able to see on the level you want and know this might be the last chance you have of finding good lenses.
I was also truly disappointed when my doctors told me 'there's nothing we can do' - OK UH WHAT?! We always assume there must be some solution to our problems, so it's a shock to hear 'no' from some of the brightest people on earth.
I'm going to think a lot of positive thoughts and send them your way, let's hope these lenses work out for you <3
