Introduction / 自己紹介

As of September 2011, I have been sightless for two years and two months, lost the sense of light for a year and two months. I have an inherit heart disease called Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy (IDC).
When I suddenly lost my eyesight, the intern eye doctor at the university hospital told me he could not figure out what caused the sight loss. Still felt strange, I decided to see my cardio doctor who happened to be at the same hospital, and he suspected my heart could be a cause. After a electrocardiography and MRI, he found out that I was in a critical condition: I had irregular pulse, and I seemed to have a stroke. With a slight speech inpedament and a bit of numbness in my hand, everything seems okay, but the artery to my eyes are clogged. I received an IV injection right away, but it was too late to save my vision...
After 10 months in hospital I walked away from there with completely loss of eyesight caused by glaucoma. No sense of light at all.

If I was treated as I had a stroke for the first visit at the hospital and I received an IV, my eyes would have been saved, but it's too late. Instead of complaining the past things, I would rather think ahead and figure out what I can do.

私は先祖からの遺伝でしょうか、拡張型心筋症持ちです。心臓移植なしで、あやしいながらも無事に動いております。
２年ちょっと前に急に目が見えなくなり、循環器かでかかっていた大学病院の眼科で診てもらったのですが、研修生らしき先生は、原因が分からないと、簡単に診察を済まされてしまいました。その後、循環器科の先生が自分の異変に気づき、MRIを取ってみると、どうも血管が詰まっているようで。
しかも不整脈が大量に出ており、危険だったそうな。急遽点滴を受けましたが、既にその時には手遅れだったらしく・・・

それから１０ヶ月後、退院するときには命は取り留めましたが、全盲になっていました。結局、緑内障を起こして光すら分からなくなる始末。完全失明ですね・・・

・・・というところから、このブログが始まります。
しばらくは、過去を振り返って書いていこうと思います。
