I'm going blind

I know I have been complaining about my vision for over 2 years now, but I'm going blind. And I'm scared. Because there's nothing I can do about it. What's going to happen to me if I go blind? I mean, it's annoying now, but if I go truly blind, what do I do? Now, I can't see clearly, but it is progressing, and soon, I won't be able to see at all. I've "watched" it coming. I have no $$. I have no health care. I have no way to do anything about it. I'm just scared.

How do I face 1/10th of what people I have known in my life have faced? I wonder if I can face never seeing my grandsons's faces or my daughters smile again, or the child of my only son. And yet, I know people who get up every morning missing arms and legs, and still get up and go out into the world. Can Ido that? I'm not sure. I just know that every day I get up and my vision has deteriorated, I give up a little more.
