Atropine for glaucoma

Thank you for this beautiful and amazing and inspiring story. Sadly I can relate to the narrators story from the sight loss situation. My wife is elderly and has suffered from glaucoma for nearly 40 years and then 4 years ago she suffered a ‘detached retina’ in her right eye. She had 2 operations although in the 2nd it was successfuly attached due to everything else she is virtually blind in that eye and limited vision in her left and is now registered ‘Severely Sight Impaired’ life has been tough and still is with the readjustment required. So thank you for this amazing story.

The idea that Hathaway is going blind from cataracts just does not make sense. For many years now artificial lens implants have become an everyday occurrence. Perhaps the illness has been misrepresented to protect his identity. The real illness might be macular degeneration, special types of glaucoma, or retinitis pigmentosa, to mention a few common but devastating causes of blindness. However, cataracts causing blindness these days is unbelievable.
The story itself, is fantastically good, especially if it is autobiographical. The premise of a return to a matriarchy with its benefits is excellent. We guys have botched our care of the planet and civilization with our macho nonsense. The West has been bad enough, but it is nothing compared to the Islamic premises for civilization, especially their treatment of women.

I have tried to think of a reasoned response to your comment which goes beyond you're wrong.
I am not clear on which aspect of the story triggered your sensitivity to PTSD. Unfortunately, by posting anonymously, I can't have an offline discussion with you about my personal experiences with PTSD, ADHD, ODD, OCD, Bipolar 2, Schizophrenia (or MPD or DID if you prefer), alcoholism (both active and recovering), Anxiety disorder and so forth, and the medications used to treat them, including non-medicinal Ego Therapy.
I also can't discuss with you the recreational use of various drugs including barbiturates, amphetamines, tranquilizers, hallucinogenics, sedatives, psychotropics, narcotics and others. I assure you, I have the requisite experience.
If you are considering Sandy as a victim of PTSD, you are missing the point. There was no traumatic incident in her past which would be causal. She developed a split personality (think Jekyll and Hyde, if you will) as a coping mechanism for her Wild Child side which kept getting her in trouble. She would be a prime candidate for Ego Therapy, if she were willing.
Regarding your comment regarding weed, both marijuana and alcohol both lower inhibitions and interfere with sexual response. If you need a literary reference, please see Macbeth, Act 2, Scene 3. In small amounts and coupled with a stimulant such as dexedrine, marijuana can be used to alleviate the symptoms of premature ejaculation. THC has been shown to help with diseases like glaucoma and cancer.
I empathize with your PTSD issue. It has destroyed many lives. And personally, the VA isn't doing a very good job helping our returning servicemen and women who suffer its effects. It just doesn't apply to this story. I hope you can understand this.
I hope you find plenty of stories here on Lit which tickle your fancy. In my opinion, one's fancy should be tickled often. Thank you for commenting.

for her and for him. good for drama but for the soul.
