Wow, it has been
over a month since my last posting. I
have been keeping as busy as I can on the new site directory, and it is
basically ready to launch. I just need
to work on a couple of things that might make things go more smoothly later on.
Alas, with me not
really knowing what I am doing, I am quite sure I am doing everything the hard
way. A lot of that has to do with my
eyesight still being fairly poor, which keeps me from learning the codes that
could automate much of what I am (and will be) doing manually.
No, I did not get
the cataract surgery on my eyes. The plan
was for the doctor who has been treating me with the Avastin shots to pass me
along to another doctor (over him in the clinic) for the cataract surgery as
soon as the excess fluid in the back of my eyes was gone. The excess fluid has been gone since last
March, but I was informed that my cataracts were not bad enough to warrant
surgery at this time, which has left me not being able to read anything that is
not at least in a 20-point emboldened font.
There is not a doubt in my mind that the real reason why I could not
have the cataract surgery is because I am on Medicaid.
The huge irony of
it all is that I could get off of Medicaid and become a contributing member of
society again if things go well with the new site directory. So, I am looking forward to the launching of
the new directory in a couple of weeks as being an independence day for me and Arlynda
in that regard, as well.
Herein lies one of
the things I hope will make the new directory stand out. For if you do a regular search (Google or
some other) on Independence Day while looking for some information on the new
movie by the name or maybe the American holiday, this article will show up—even
though it has nothing to do with either.
The reason why is because computer algorithms are set to find the name,
which may have nothing to do with the content while every site on the new
directory is actually checked to see what they are all about and placed in appropriate
categories. Of course, my poor eyesight
sure factors in, and changes will be made when they are needed.
Our Heavenly Father
has sure given me some hard lessons to learn.
For I was raised to believe that He only helped those who helped themselves
and that anyone down in the gutter (so to speak) had placed themselves there
and was getting what they deserved. I now
know that He helps me the most when I am helpless to help myself (even before I
beg for it) and that one can find themselves severely down and out despite how
hard they tried to do things right.
Oh yeah, I have
done plenty wrong, but it sure seemed right at the time. I hope the new directory is not another one.
