Things I Miss Most As A Retired Aging Senior

I took the injections and the supplement for 4 to 5 years. I got progressively worst, perhaps because of my smoking. Finally, I grew to hate the monthly injections. They worked to some degree, but they are wrong about the pain. The injections caused me enough discomfort that I finally refused the treatment. I can still see in my left eye, but the vision in my right is obscured. I am not afraid to be blind. The good news is I can see around corners, just not straight ahead. I love talking books, which I now receive through blind services. I have some eye strain pain and occasional burning in both eyes. The good news for you is that the injections might save your sight for a long time.

Thanks for the reply and tip on the books.
 

I was an only child. My old man died when I was 9 and he wasn't around much when he was alive. After that my single mom was at work most of the time and I was a latch key kid. So I'm pretty much used to being by myself. Whenever I take the Myers Briggs Personality test I bury the needle on the Introvert scale. So being alone doesn't bother me that much. In fact, I usually prefer it.

Did you know that Myers Briggs was a response to Carl Jungs theorizing about archetypes. There is more than one theorist who believe that we live through various archetypes. Your response to the Myers Briggs may be kind of a self full filling prophesy. Meyers Briggs says you are a loner so you will act like a loner. I was a loner because I had a fear of people. I have since learned not to be a loner. Meyers Briggs tagged me just the same as you. However, people change over time. Your major archetype might be different now. We, I believe, can always change if we want to change badly enough. If you want to know more about archetypes it is right there on the internet. I learned a great truth in one of my 1st AA meetings. Take your ass and your mind will follow. I can show you how to prove that if you like.

Doubt it Dude. I was a loner way before I ever heard of Jung or Myers Briggs.

When I was young that was the case. It no longer is.

I have no desire to change. I'm cool with the way I am.

I wish you nothing but happiness and love. If I seemed to be "throwing" things at you I sincerely apologize. Sometimes my mouth overloads my donkey. By the way my Meyers Briggs showed I was a Campaigner. Hit me right on the head. I happen to believe in Dr. Jungs work. He had some very profound ideas.
