Hi Plaguewind!

Well kinda long story, but when I was 18 I started losing my eyesight and had kind of a stroke like episode. They thought I had a brain tumor, but tests showed it wasn't. Ended up losing a circle of sight in my central vision in the right eye. Now I am super sensitive about anything impairing my vision, and am really paranoid about going blind. The dark is a reminder of this.

Can't tell any of this by looking at me though My eye looks normal.

Weird other theory... I looked directly into an eclipse in 1979, and my optomotrist thinks the damage occurred from that. A perfect circle. No one knows for sure, could have even been a stroke as I said, lost my speech for 8 hrs that day.

Anyway, my life is a soap! Boy could I tell you some shit!
