I've been thru a lot growing up, and this doesn't even phase me in comparison. Whatever doesn't kill me will only make me stronger....lol

Sully, I'm just glad I don't have to go through what women go through every month....lol Truecritic, Since there is more money now because of the Obamacare, I'll find some revenue, but only If it's the last hope. I'm hoping the VA will help first.

Have you searched for alternative treatments? I cured my son's gall stones with an online recipe. Cost: $14. They wanted to remove his gall bladder. Cost: thousands.

Well, If it ain't one thing, it's another.

3 days ago I was bending over to pick something up. As i stood up, a very small black blob/jellybean shaped object appeared at the corner of my right eye. As the day progressed the blob broke into smaller piece and eventually has become into a cobweb strand that is close to the line of vision.

In the past 3 days I've done some research and the best cure is a laser treatment where the doctor zaps the clumps away into a gas thus dissolving the proteins.

The eye has a Vitreous gel that makes up the shape of the eyeball. As a person ages, the gel becomes less solid and liquifies. Some of the gel seeps through a membrane and becomes a floater.

I can't afford the expensive procedure, so hopefully the VA hospital might be able to help me.

The fun never ends.....lol

Below is a video of an actual laser treatment.
