Mood:  d'oh

Woke up this morning at about 1:00 am because I itched all over and had a terrible headache.  All I can think is that I must be allergic to something that I'm taking to help my body recover.  I've been taking all kinds of vitamins and minerals.  I'm going to stop taking everything until this itchiness goes away and then slowly introduce one thing at a time to see if any of them is causing it. 

It could have been the steroid IV drip that I had to be on for three days to try to bring back the sight that I lost.  I'm not even sure if that really worked at all or not.  Sometimes I think I'm seeing better and then all of a sudden it's gone again.  This is a real bummer.  I haven't driven for nearly three weeks because other cars get into my blind spots and that's not good for me or the other drivers on the road. 

I have been off work going on three weeks because I can't see enough to be able to work with babies.  That and I'm not sure how I am going to get down there anyways.  I looked at the local busses and it doesn't look like they drop off anywhere near where my workplace is.  I would have to do an awful lot of walking and that isn't a very safe thing if you can't see where you are walking and there might be people out there who would take advantage of someone who can't see everything.  

Perhaps I sound paranoid, but it's hard knowing what I'm missing.  It's hard to go from being independent and doing everything myself to having to rely on others. I wish that I could just hire someone to take me to and from work everyday.  I'm not talking about a cab.  Those guys are expensive.  I had to hire one of them to take me to my first eye appointment and it was 20 dollars one way.  EEK!  I have a car that I can't drive right now.  Whoever I would hire could even use my car to drive me where I need to go.
