What moves you?

For this assignment, I would have to describe an experience that most moved me. Recently I got a cornea ulcer. And this has probably been the most unluckest thing that has ever happened to me in my life. I was the stereo typical girl that tans more than what I probably should and wears contacts, but now I can not do either of those because of the cornea ulcer or at least for a while. It happened in my left eye making my vision in that eye so fogged that I could not see out of it. It was really light sensitive too. Things that happened to the left I would usually miss. I trip over more things and definitely lose more things, most commonly my keys. For example, I was walking from the car to a friends house and in the process was completely blind sighted by a tree branch hanging on the left side of the side walk and walked right into it. To a normal person this would of looked really stupid and comical, but I never saw the tree coming. I would also find myself hoping for dark cloudy days or maybe rain because that would only mean it would have to be cloudy out. The medicines that they had me on would not let me sleep either. I had to take them every hour so the most sleep I could get at a time would be every 55 minutes. The first week was the worst because I had to go to Wishard everyday and I would have to try to get one of my roommates to take me until just recently I can with stand more light and I walk there now, especially since I have been lucky enough to not have many sunny days at all during the week. The worst part is that this will effect my vision in that eye because of the type of bacteria was the worst and will leave a scar on my cornea. But all I keep thinking about is if I will be able to wear contacts in time for spring break, because for the first time ever I am actually going somewhere for spring break and now I am not sure how my eye will be at that time.
