Apart from retweeting where to get vax’d I haven’t said much on Twitter so far about the pandemic. That might be me trying not to rock the boat, it might be fatigue and low grade D, but the anti-vax protests affecting access to hospitals has driven me to the brink 1/

In December I lost most of my vision due to a brain lesion. Spent 2 weeks in neuro ward, recovered slowly over next couple months. Losing your vision is scary as shit, it also resulted in me having a super heightened startle response - an unanticipated move or sound 2/

would make my heart pound, make me sweat and tremble. Recurred in March but kept more vision on the right. Phew.
My tx has nuked my immune system.
My husband has been my caregiver, champion, my everything thru this…oh and also my driver cause well vision-driving- you get it 3/

He’s been my eyes. He has walked me to the car, from the car into the hospitalS-so many hospitals-and he has protected me from falling, losing my way, losing my marbles really 4/

He is not an aggressive or violent person. He is very compassionate and giving to strangers and friends. When he heard about the anti-vax protests in front of hospitals he was almost in a rage 😡 knowing what dealing with the hospitalS and the stress of being so sick 5/

and impaired has meant to all of us. He said he worried about what he would actually do if someone accosted me/us. I don’t need my husband knocking someone out and starting a brawl just so he can take me to the hospital. That would just make all of this harder-worse-shittier 6/

That being said, if there is a news report of a visually impaired middle aged blond woman swinging at anti-vax protesters as she enters a hospital, please think-that’s our friend Kadey, finally not holding back any punches (note my punches are with words🤓) against the people 7/

who are literally making life so much harder for so many people who are already working extra hard to just be well. The police need to be nipping this and fast. #GetVaccinated #BeKind #BetterTogether 8/

PS brain lesion doesn’t seem to want to go away but I can see a lot better these days and am enjoying every minute. I hope you can too 🤓🤗🙏
