Hunting is not a sport. In order for it to be a sport,.. both sites must know they're playing a game!!
well for a little while now I have been waking up every morning with low blood sugar sometimes not so low other times really low. About three days ago I woke up on my bathroom floor facedown in my head was hurting, I must have hit the bathroom sink when I passed out I was okay once my blood sugar got back up and I ate some glucose tabs each raises your blood sugar drink some milk and ate some bagels.
Yesterday when I got up my blood sugar said "LO" on my blood meter which is the lowest it can go which means it's below 25 because I think that's the lowest any blood meter will go for checking blood sugar levels which is extremely low but the same thing after drinking some milk eating some glucose tabs drinking some apple juice and getting something to eat everything was okay.
I did notice that in my left eye there was a black spot that moving around and plus all I can describe it as is spiderwebs running across my left eye when I would cover my left eye I could not see them but covering my right eye everything was cloudy and there was a black spot and a bunch of spiderwebs, so today after visiting Jimmy I went down to Sun City Ctr., Son Optical, and got an appointment as a walk-in my insurance covered it they did a complete workup and his findings was I have a detached retina in my left eye.
There is a simple surgery for this they say where they use a laser to reattach the retina only problem is it is in the Pinellas County and right now I only have a half a tank of gas in my car so there is no way I can get there they would have had a opening for me at 10 o'clock in the morning tomorrow but there is no way I can make it there so I'm going to have to wait till next month they are still trying to find someone closer I told them my situation that I am on a limited fixed income I have a little bit under a half a tank of gas in my car and $2.00 in my bank account. So there is no way I can make that until next month plus they changed my eye prescription and say I now have to wear corrective lenses and my insurance covers everything but $75. O0 of it.

The only thing that scares me about this surgery is that I've heard it may cause me to go colorblind from what I've read online and what the eye doctor told me I hope not.
I hope you can avoid colorblindness. At least you'll still have the other eye to check colors with. If you do lose some color perception, it would likely be only be a fractional loss, which means it could be a lot, almost too little to notice, or something in between. My roommate lost some of his ability to separate greens and yellows. It's not at a level where it impacts anything important, but I've noticed several times when he calls green yellow, and yellow green. He didn't get those mixed before his retina surgeries though.
