Thanks for your kind words. My vision problem in 2006 was never really addressed. This was my fault. I was in Iraq and working long hours in the heat (120+). One afternoon I got a headache and felt weak so went to bed. I went back to work at midnight and noticed my vision was very blurry (worse just off-center in my left eye). Cold compresses seemed to help and my problem got better relatively quickly. In a few days I was back to normal. I never saw the doc. I do have occassional mild double vision, especially when I'm very tired. I have trouble focusing at times too. This is noticeable when I'm driving and I can't seem to read the road signs, but I have 20/20 vision on reading an eye chart.
The cognitive problems are the worst, but have been much better for the past two or three weeks. I rely on lists a lot to keep on track. I don't do well with deadlines or multi-tasking. I have trouble following conversations and avoid using the telephone because I keep "talking over" the other person. (It takes me so long to say what I want to say that I can't keep up with the conversation.) I have two masters degrees and know I'm not stupid but fear that that's the way I come across lately.
I have mild PTSD, with anxiety, depression, and bad dreams. That makes it kind of hard to separate and categorize my symptoms. I also have some urinary and similar problems.
Thanks again for your thoughtfulness.

But I admire you so much for continuing on. That is what it takes. Unfourtanately it does slow walk us down, but go down fighting, it makes it all worth while! Continue to go as long as you can, as long as it is safe for you and the others that you serve, after that; "JOB WELL DONE!" But remember to first and foremost take care of yourself, regardless to what you may read we only live down here once, and nobody loves you like you! You are a wonderful person doing a wonderful thing, not many people can say that. But the final decision is yours. Take care of yourself first. But remember as one of the gospel songs say, and I do not mean to offend because I do not know your belief factor, but "The battle is not yours, it's the Lords!"
