"...That's the worst feeling in the world. First of all, losing one of your senses, but then going to a doctor and they're telling you, "We don't know." It is the lowest moment of my life. It was sophomore year. I remember very vividly. I was taking anatomy and physiology and just very gradually,
it started in one eye. It was just very blurry. It just got progressively worse and worse every day. I was like, "I don't know what's going on." I can still see out of my other eye.
.
Then eventually, this eye got completely blurred out. I could see figures but I wouldn't be able to see the facial features on people's faces. I would be recognizing by voice who they were because eventually, it spread to my other eye and then that eye went completely blurred. I was walking around campus like I could see a curb was coming up or a car was coming but I couldn't tell you the make and model of the car. It got pretty bad to where I was just sitting in class recording the lectures, because I couldn't take notes. I couldn't see the keys on my keyboard. I couldn't send emails. It felt like impending doom, like I was being punished for something. It was so frustrating going from doctor to doctor. They were just like, "We've never seen this before. We don't know what this is." Chelsea Samms, NICU RN ❤️ 🎬 #RealCaregiversRealStories#HappyNursesWeek
