I am blind in one eye. well on good days i see color out of my left eye sometimes shape. now my right my good eye is starting to do what my left started to before i lost it. when i was a year old i had scarlet fever into scarlet tina and they put me into oxygen tank. my problem is they say no surgery can help i feel like im going insane. im recovering from knee surgery, taking care of my mother she has mini strokes, plus take care of two kids(their my cousins my aunt morgan is dying) while living in my parents house. I am on crutchs and i am suppose to go to college next semester. sometimes i feel dizzy and double vision. plus walking on crutchs and keeping up with a soon to be 2yr old and a 9yr old who thinks everything should cater to her. I am only 19 does anyone feel like i do?

I'm so sorry for all of your responsibility and worry. Is there some way of having in home support to enable you to have some respite?? You must be tired...I wish I could make some suggestion to make life easier and more enjoyable for you. I'm glad you came here for support. Welcome to you! Please continue to post. :) "
