Close Shaves Series – part 3: The sight story

... Continued from last week

I hope you guys are gearing up for more juicy stories of my Close shaves with death or being an invalid. Please, note that all stories are true, and I experienced them.
"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now, I’m found
WAS BLIND, BUT NOW, I SEE."

Okay, just to let you know, I wasn’t just trying to wax lyrical, or be spiritual. I was actually blind for some time, when I was a child, lol.

I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t be giving too much details about this one. It is not that I want to be selfish with information, but I was too young to remember how it actually went down. I think I was about two or three years old. What I can remember exactly is that one day in the hospital, one of my family friend’s children, who I see as wicked, poured tea down my dress, and I was defenceless. The other thing I can remember is that when I got home, I could see, and they gave me plenty pepper to lick, lol.

It was actually a case of measles. It almost made me go permanently blind. According to my mum, it was about to enter my eyes, and my eyes closed. At the hospital, my eyes were always forced open, so they could put the drugs/eye drop in it, in order to prevent the blindness from being permanent.

I was blind for a total of FIVE DAYS! But now, I have the clearest vision ever.

So…

I once was blind

But now, I see.

I’m really sorry about the sketchy details. Pardon me, I was just too young. Blame my mum, she is the one who cannot remember the whole story again.

More juicy and detailed stories from next week. I promise.

P.S: Guess who I spoke with last week? None other than Toinlicious. Hmm, this girl's secret has been exposed. She's not the razz local girl she portrays herself to be o. She is extremely tush, well-spoken, and omo butter. Basically, she has been deceiving us on blogsville. I coulda sworn I was speaking with a president or governor's child... you know those ones that have been washed in money...

  1. You really have a good memory, i don't remember my childhood as much as you do, the memories that lingers are the punishment i served from being naughty. And as for Toin, she is a butty o, she has just been deceiving and i am happy someone else knows the truth. How come you never mentioned that we have spoken before? Yes i am jealous!
