I had 20/20 vision up until I was six years old.
I used to think, as a kid, that life was going to be a piece of cake because, when I had 20/20 vision, I could read well, draw faces and people close to the way they looked and, if I could see how you did something, I could copy you!
I lost my sight after doctors gave me some medication to which I was allergic. This happened after I had a breathing spell when I had fallen asleep.
Twelve days after taking Phenobarbital, the medication burned me from the inside out and destroyed my tear ducts! I had many eye operations during the summer and ended up losing an eye because of all the experimental operations.
I have what is called “Steven Johnson Syndrome.” My parents believed: "If the doctors can mess you up, they can fix you up!" I now know that is not so. And, yes, we sued Colorado General Hospital. But, at that time, the doctors would say, "They signed the paper saying we could treat him" and doctors could get away with a lot of questionable procedures!
My personality would not let me quit, with or without sight.
I was able to land my first job in Junior High, working with the janitor. That is when I learned, through my parents, to pay rent, as my mother charged me a third of my by-weekly check. At that time I didn’t understand life isn’t free, and freedom to spend all you earn was not a good pattern to live by!
- give the power back to the people, to lower taxes and gas prices.
- reduce regulations on small businesses that stop them from generating earnings to hire people in our community.
- make the Denver Public Schools more transparent and accountable to the parents.
