I am a writer and I am struggling right now. Not with inspiration or lack of interest but with failing eyesight and lack of proper equipment. I am currently using a Chromebook that was given to me by my friend Jay a few months ago. My eye doctor has declared me eligible for state assistance with improved options for vision impaired users. Nothing so far. When my mom developed macular degeneration in her 70s she got a keyboard that had yellow keys which are much easier to see than the black with white. I was at the State Gazette today and noticed that one staff member had a keyboard with white keys and black letters. They were BIG keys too. That is what I need. Maybe my readers would chip in for something more user friendly. Or not. Times are hard and nobody has money for a GoFundMe.
I went to the doc yesterday for the 2nd time in a week and he seemed to be a bit outdone with me. I don't blame him. He's younger than me and way overworked in a system where everything changes on a dime and he has to watch his ass on everything. I got a steroid shot which helped and a Zpack for the URI. Plus some cough medicine. I feel better today except for the nagging pain in my scalp which is uh...occipital neuralgia?? It woke me up last night along with leg cramps because I can't afford PT co-pay anymore. But I digress. Life is good on so many levels.
