I have been very gratified by  the response to my request for aid.  Right now, things are on hold until next week, when I see Dr. Falconer.  I hope the sample bottles of eye drops last–I went back to using the toxic one (a beta-blocker!) every other day, to stretch out the good  stuff.

In other news briefly, I am still awaiting the results of last week’s cancer biopsy, and the high blood pressure medication I just went on seems to be working.

My plans for today are mostly to work on cleaning up the mess some kids made when they burglarized and vandalized my storage shed, doing thousands of dollars worth of damage in the  process.  The perps were lost children.  I have forgiven them, and asked the trooper on the case to tell the DA I would rather not see them prosecuted.  They have caused their parents enough heartbreak as it is, I reckon.

I have been grossly neglecting my health for years.  So when I took Kathy and Doug to Walmart to get new glasses (courtesy of the Willow Lions, yay!!!), I figured I should get new glasses and find out how bad my cataracts are–I am pretty much blind in my right eye now.

Turns out I have a stage one cataract in my left eye–the right eye is stage four, which is as bad as they get.  I also found out I have glaucoma, which is sort of a big deal, since this makes you blind forever if it is not treated, and treatment is expensive.

I need at least $10,000 for treatment for the glaucoma and cataracts.  I have no insurance, am too young for Medicare, and am supporting a family of three adults on about $20,000 a year.

If you wish to help–the image below is a Pay Pal link.

Or you may make a deposit right in the FBO account that is set up at the Matanuska Valley Federal Credit Union for donations.  The account number is #990000133618.  The transit routing number is #325272335.  I don’t understand how this works, or even if it does. 

If this is too complicated, you can send a donation directly to Greyfox, 7362 West Parks Hwy #404, Wasilla, AK 99654.

Thank you for your time.  I have an appointment for aftercare for the glaucoma for July 8–right now, I do not know how I will pay for it.  The cost may be as high as $1500 for the initial visit.
