Hi there
Well.. , it's now all over and done with. I will be losing my driving licence. Because of bad eyesight.
I had given up my car last December, because of rust. Thank goodness I decided to wait until my next drivers' licence renewal in April before buying another car.
It's glaucoma. I've been holding it off for about 30 years (those stupid multiple eye drops!), including glaucoma surgery on each eye.
The weird thing is, I think I can see pretty well. I never wear glassses around the house. And, if you remember - if I even, indeed, remembered to post the information to you - two years ago, I even got permission from the optometrist to drive without wearing glasses; I never did because, you know, habit.... And fear.
Though the Transport Department sent me a full drivers' licence about three weeks ago, with no stipulations at all, they contacted me last week saying that on closer appraisal they had revoked the licence ('licence' is British spelling, 'license' is USA spelling).
In the meantime, I had been to the eye clinic at Wellington Hospital. They confirmed everything....
Now, where did I put that bus timetable....?
