Irony from the getgo: The Patch

I shouldn't have been surprised at what my future would eventually hold , when at 5 years old the irony all started with a patch.  Yes a patch, like a pirate.  When I went for my kindergarten hearing and eye tests before starting school they figured out that I was basically blind in my left eye.  Of course.  The bad luck begins.  Blind, but only in one eye, not two like a normal person.  The diagnosis: a patch and glasses, great way to start school for the first time in your life.  Luckily my mom informs me that I acted like I never knew I even had it on, climbing slides 3 times my size, running, laughing, and learning to ride a 2 wheeler all with the patch.  And so began my crazy, fearless, never normal or boring life.  I've come to accept it and I hope it will give you a laugh too, because it's only getting weirder.
