It’s been a month since my surgery, and the recovery has gone better than ever. I couldn’t be happier about my decision to seek out a new rheumatologist and about his assertion that I begin Remicade infusions. The transition over the past few months has been remarkable. How funny that pharmaceuticals were what tore my…

“No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were;…

I’ve never been one to watch many television shows, and I’ve especially been reluctant to watch anything remotely resembling a soap opera. Somehow, though, I found myself thoroughly caught up in the series finale of Desperate Housewives tonight. The final message was one I cannot help but agree with: Let go of the hate in your…

Last May, I had a surgery that was projected to give me back sight in my right eye, and I also started this blog. I chose the name “Sudden Sight” because overnight I could see better out of my eye, whereas losing sight in that eye has given me amazing insight in so many other…

I take my last finals for the semester in the morning. I’ve promised myself that I’m going to start writing a lot more over the break. I also had a friend tell me recently how much my posts have meant to her. All to more reason to keep on writing… The other night I watched…

First, I do apologize for having taken so long to update! Work has been exceptionally busy, and I’ve had a few mishaps in the meantime. My second car, Zuzu, is now a goner. My new car is Snow, named from a book I’ve been enjoying called A Game of Thrones from the series A Song…

The second trip to Miami went alright. The specialist believes that the lupus is causing heavy inflammation, which is why the scar tissue is growing back so quickly. My vision has actually been getting worse. But I can still see to get around just fine, and we’ve started a new eye drop and medication regimen….

I move tomorrow. Dad’s house closes on Monday, and I’m moving out to a friend’s house until further notice. To have so many places where I’m welcome, it’s funny that none of these places has ever felt really like home. But this house has been a place of healing for seven years now. It was…

I went to my normal eye doctor today. I didn’t receive very happy news. At first, it was exciting that with my right eye I could read a letter on the second line of the eye chart, under the big “E.” Then, he took a look at my eyes. It seems the scar tissue is…
