I currently am reading a book about RBG. I am absolutely LOVING it! I am more than halfway done but not quite 3/4 of the way finished. I posted a picture on Facebook of the quote that I read on page 127.
I liked that quote because today I’m not feeling very well. I hope that I feel better tomorrow. One thing I have noticed since I began reading this book is that my vision starts having a problem about a half hour into reading.
It took me a minute to try to explain what I was saying to my Mom. After a while, I see green that leopard print directly over the text. I don’t see the dark green but rather, if you make the dark green spots the light green background color, that’s closer to what I see. I’ve had Optic Neuritis in both of my eyes for a little over 10 years. My right eye started to show signs of Optic Neuritis when I was pregnant with Sean.
The doctor told me 18 years ago that I was, “Going to go blind and then I was going to die” after she told me that I had MS. Even though I situate myself to be directly under my dining room light, I believe that my daily reading is putting strain on my eyes. I am so engrossed in the book I am reading that I try to push through and keep reading even though the leopard spots get darker and darker.
I just finished reading and as I write this post, my phone also is getting the dark spots. Perhaps I just need to rest my eyes and will do that by putting a movie on that I’ve seen 1 million times so I can just listen to it and maybe doze off a little bit before bed. I really do hope that, “Tomorrow will be better.”
