Page 6 – Hello, Jack
This time of the year is bringing up memories and emotions from last year, and it doesn’t even feel like a year has passed for me. I was dealing with ongoing health issues, and the fear of it possibly being cancer, along with my ailing grandmother. I believe working on this comic has helped me through a lot of things, and I’m certain it will continue to stay that constant project in my life until… Now my mind is thinking about my poor eyesight and how one day I may lose my vision completely. I’ve probably mentioned it before, but I have had myopia (nearsightedness) my whole life. An eye doctor once told me I was their second-worst patient with it, and I was then sent to see a retina specialist. The retina specialist did tell me he could see where my retina has been detaching, but it was also healing as it detaches. And lately, I have been seeing more flashes of light in my other eye, almost like the remnant of a camera flash. These do fade in time and my vision seems normal (as normal is for me), but the thought of one day losing my vision completely…
What am I doing rambling on about this? I need to get back to drawing.
