Today I reflect on a terrible memory.
Last year in the mid section of my nursing career I realized my “glasses” weren’t working... AT ALL. It seemed some days were better than others.
Yes I knew I had KC but I jus didn’t have guidence and wasn’t prepared to what was about to come
On this particular day we were reading blood pressures manually. Im sure everybody has seen one of these before they are call sphygmomanometer (yea is stupid lol)
When using these u measure by the first and last heartbeat and that’s how u get the pressure.. I can hear extremely well I say it’s due to being legally blind but who knows. So I could hear the beats perfectly clear but u guessed it I couldn’t see the damn numbers to save my life or my patients for this matter.. it was only practice relax! I told a couple of my classmates whom I jus met anyway so they didn’t believe me I mean u can’t look at somebody wit KC and tell I don’t even think they know what it is as much as I told them 🤷🏾♀️
I went home contiplating my life my career I’ve always wanted to be in health care! I was devistated! I jus researched and prayed and meditated and researched and meditated and prayed! Depression set in again... people around me that I loved brushed over me always saying “I can’t see” or “I can’t see that foreal it’s hard”
One night like the night I made this tumblr I found a speacilist jus up typing and Dr. Brad Feldman from Philadelphia eye associates is my cornea speacilist Dr. Justin Sherman is my resident ophthalmologist speacilist in contacts!
Long story short I guess today didn’t start with a bad memory but a reassuring one! I graduate 🤞🏾 in December due to covid probably longer but at least my book work will be done!
I wrote this without my contacts sorry for errors 🤷🏾♀️ does anybody else close their blind eye to type on their phone!?
Also if you have crystals I hope you charged them last night ima bring my out tonight as well 💫
