My god, that really sucks!

I feel for you, believe me.

This whole car thing makes me sick.

Two weeks after I got rid of that car (a Honda Civic Sport 2019) that was supposed to last me for the rest of my life, I was dx'd with macular degeneration and cataracts. I already have optical neuritis from multiple sclerosis.

I wonder with every day that passes how much longer will I be able to see?

So, no new car for me it seems.

This whole thing sucks so bad!
