For the handful of you who wouldn't have read about this elsewhere sooner...
The following is in part a short update on the major thing that's been happening to me over the last several months -- which also explains a large part of why for several months I've barely been online, much less keeping up with social media -- and in part a plea for help from those who can.
( Behind the cut: A tale of multiple vision problems, and an ongoing series of surgeries to try and correct them. )
All these surgeries cost, of course, and most of it is out of pocket. Plus I am unable to work during all this -- much of the recovery so far has involved extremely poor vision, and I still don't see well enough to drive. Therefore the non-medical bills are all past due as well. So here is a link to my GoFundMe page.
Please, if you can, contribute what you can, but please don't feel guilty if you can't. Also, whether or not you donate, please *please* share the link to my fundraiser, to the extent that you have the spoons to do so; public sharing is fine. Many hands make light work... and ideally I think 1,000 individual contributors would probably be enough to make my goal.
Thank you to everyone who has helped already, and thanks in advance to those that will help in future.
