For the love of Christ I made him cry. The next 24 hours were the worst since he's been gone and I spent our next 15 minute conversation apologizing for being such a POS.
On a happier note though, I have a friend who lost the sight in one eye and it took 2 YEARS for her to regain it. My regular doctor told me that even though the neurosurgeon said I wouldn't get the sight back that it's way too early to say that for sure. That gave me some hope, but I still won't be holding my breath. I will ride again, it will just have to be a 3-wheeler. Even if I do regain my sight I don't think I can ever trust cagers to drive around me again. That and the fact that I have to re-learn how to shoot my bow and my guns really twists me up. I will probably never be as good a shot as I once was. 
However, the alternate ending to this story is that my friends would have attended my funeral. |
Don't you believe it lady!
It's early days, but the other eye will start to compensate...that and you'll get used to the new eye-hand co-ordination. You can be just as good as anyone else, and I know you're not one to wuss out on a bit of a challenge, are you?
I really believe it is possible that you'll get your sight back eventually, science is making progress all the time, and just because it may be uncertain now, doesn't mean it will be in a year or two, or even when everything is settled down enough to know for sure.
You've been through the worst of it, now is the time for the good stuff to start happening for you!
