my eyes, my eyes!

Now then, where was i - oh yeah, the eye thing. Well to get the eye condition corrected i needed to go into hospital (sheesh, again!) this time to the eye hospital. I was five by this time, nearly six as i remember having my birthday in the hospital.
Amazing how painfull it is to try and open your eye after you had an operation on it - eek! - don't recall much really apart from having a big old pad taped over my eye and having to wear an eye patch for a while. Turns out though that the surgeon/doctors had overcompensated in trying to correct the lazy eye and as a result i have double vision, as it wasnt't enough trying to get my coordination and balance back to an acceptable standard after the removal of the brain tumour i now had to work on getting my vision. I have had double vision so long now i'm used to it, doesn't cause me any bother really unless it's on my mind - as in its a topic of conversation then i notice it - as i write this it has come to prominence.
Had to wear geeky glasses with thick lenses for a long while ~ cringe. But that really got to a point where i couldnt stand them, apart from the constant jokery at school
, the lenses would have to be so strong to correct the double vision they would probably do more harm than good, plus the fact that my actual vision is fine - not exactly 20-20 but good ennough.
the only thing is that i am unable to drive, well not exactly true but as far as my opinnion goes anyway, which if i'm brutally honest saves me one hell of a lot of problems and money not running a car and i do quite enjoy the travel on public transport - mostly - so all in all its all fine by me
