Blind
This sucked big time how the hell was I going to live now, ONE dam head injury and I was blind. I couldn't see a fucking thing. I could feel and hear everything around me but I couldn't see who or what it was. I sighed in frustration. I was able to go home today. The doctors were skeptical that I would ever see again. Saying that it was a rare thing for trauma to cause blindness, and the chances of my vision recovering was slim. I heard the door open and someone enter my room.
"Hey sis, how ah you feeling?"
I smiled as I heard my hot headed brother enter the room to take me home. More like his home seeing as it wasn't quite safe for me to be on my own yet.
"I have been better Casey, and not being able to see is a real pain in the ass."
I heard him chuckle as he placed a hand on my shoulder before leading me out of my room. Soon we were out of the hospital and in the car were April was waiting for us.
"Hey Mira, ready to head home? I got your room all set."
"Sounds good to me I am soooooo glad to be out of there."
"I bet. I know I would be."
I reached out and gently punched Casey in the arm. Making him chuckle again, the ride home was filled with pleasant chit chat and laughter. When we got the Aprils house Casey and April helped me up the stairs and to the flat above the shop. The evening was quiet and relaxing I got use to walking around using the cane I was given to find my way around, I had a pretty good idea of where everything was and the way to my room, I bumped into several things, before walking into a wall.
"Casey! A little help dude?" I groaned putting a hand on my head were it hit the wall.
"Oh dam. Sorry sis, here let me help you."
I felt him take my hand and lead me to my room which was on the same floor as the kitchen and living room. He lead me to my bed were I sat and flopped back. I felt Casey sit next to me, taking my hand.
"You ok? I mean, I know its goanna be hard to adjust and all….."
He trailed off. I felt out for his hand and took it, giving him a sad smile.
"Don't worry, I will be fine, you've put me in worse positions so this will be a walk in the park."
He let go of my hand and gently punched my arm. I smiled at him pulling him in a hug, wishing I could see him. After the hug he left to go help April with lunch. I missed being able to see things around me it made thing so much easier. I know that I shouldn't get my hopes up but I really hoped my sight would return so I could see and get back to my normal life. I was I going to get a boyfriend now? Most guys would not want to work around the handicap and do stuff that would work for both of us. Most guys got clammy at the thought of changing their style to fit someone else, even if it's in the smallest way.
I sighed there goes my chance at finding a boyfriend, and getting married before I turned 35, and me being 20 my time was slowly running out to reach my goal and being blind just shot that chance into the 10% chance of ever happening instead of the 50% it was at.
The rest of the day was slow and full of me getting used to being blind and getting to know the house. I could feel tons of bruises forming on my legs and other places. That I hit into things trying to find my way around the apartment. Dinner was simple take out pizza from a place down the street. It was actually pretty good. After sitting around talking and listening to the news, I carefully made it to my room and put on my headphones blasting my music.
I must have fallen asleep because I woke up and headphones around my neck and feeling cold, I got up and made my way to my door, I was just opening it when I heard the window to my room open I froze as I heard someone climb through.
"Aw, shit. Casey is goanna kill me."
