As some of you may know, starting during the last week of June I progressively lost vision in my right eye due to a swelling of my optic nerve. I’m now about 95% blind in that eye, and doctors have been unable to figure out what is causing the swelling.
As one of the millions of Americans still without health insurance due to lack of “traditional” employment and pre-existing conditions, this has put a major strain on things in our household. I’m trying to scrape together the $500+ it’s going to cost me for an MRI to see if there is a mass or something else pushing on the nerve from behind, and this has taken a lot of my time.
The situation hasn’t helped my clinical depression, either, which has severely impacted my creative process. This combination of causes is why the strip has been in reruns.

I will try to keep people updated.
