On Chrismas Eve 2007, I woke up blind in one eye. I stayed blind for about a month. I still have spots in the back of my eye, the doctor says he doesn't know what caused it. I think it was my cat scratching me at night because her thyroid condition made her insanely hungry, but by the time I heard of cat scratch disease, it was a year and a half later and the tests came back negative.
I still get periodic episodes of blindness. I had one in January and another just last month.
I posted a blog on Myspace a long time ago wherein I had copied the emails I sent out to friends and family. Some people have found it interesting to read. It was a very dramatic time. That's for sure.
