Big Tournament Coming Up

Good luck with the boxing Youngblood.

Defo get your eyes checked out though mate, it's not good to be losing vision.

I have a similar problem actually that happens to me every now again, usually every few weeks. My right eye will start to blur and a black film goes across it, building from the right side of my eye to the left side. On severe occasions it will then pass over to the left eye and a couple of times (although not for a couple years) I have gone completely blind for a few minutes.

I went to the doctor who booked some hospital tests for me, as I was worried about tumours. They couldnt determine the cause but said I had small pieces of cholestral in my neck that would occasionally break off and cut off oxygen supply to the brain slightly which led to my vision becoming blurred.

I thought that sounded like a big deal but apparently it's not and they just said it was ok and to report back ifit got worse. I haven't really noticed it as much in the last year so am not worried.

Not sure if your eye problem is something like that but I would definitely get it checked. It will most likely be nothing to worry about but it's surely uncommon for a completely healthy 16 year old to start losing his sight temporarily.

Hope you have a great boxing tournament. Sounds like you have a lot of anger to unleash which may fuel you!

thanks guys, leaving tomorrow morning. a friend put an interesting partial quote on my wall, "Rise and Rise again, until lambs become lions."

I did a little research and found it came from this more complete verse...

"And when they seek
to oppress you
And when they try
to destroy you,
Rise and Rise again
and again
Like The Phoenix
from the ashes
Until the Lambs
have become Lions
and the Rule of Darkness
is no more."
