Health Update

I am afraid that The Silver Lining is turning into a weekly, not daily blog. I’m sorry to any of you that look for updates more often. Truth is, nothing seems to change too quickly, and it is hard to accurately measure anyway. I consider gradual worsening to be temporary, maybe there is an element of denial. But I do recognize improvements. For example, my vision continues to be compromised, but it doesn’t seem as bad as before. Driving is not as hard. Maybe this is due to my becoming accustomed to the impairment, but I don’t think it is all assimilation. Maybe this optic neuritis really is episodic as I was told. It has just been a long episode and I would not be interested in a re-run!

I do not plan to provide a symptom-by-symptom run down. Suffice it to say that everything is about the same, and I consider status quo to be a blessing. Time allows me to learn limits and assimilate challenges, making them seem small. Well, smaller and definitely manageable.
