January 3, 2013

bridge walking over

This was the day the rest of my life began.  But at the time, I thought it was over.  3 January 2013.  It was hot.  Really hot.  I wanted to get fit, so pushed myself exercising. 

Felt dizzy.  Drank heaps of water - still struggling with multiple UTIs late 2012 that turned into a bladder infection.

Eye pain preceded headache, preceded blurry vision, preceded Googling.

Could I see red lights?  It is the strangest feeling, not to see red brake lights, or red traffic lights, or red Christmas tree lights.
