Transcription

Because by this time, I couldn’t walk. My legs had played out completely and I had been blind for two or three months. Ya, what happened with the blindness, is again we had a British medical major from the Indian Army there and he was able to get hold of what he said was, what is it vitamin E that fixes your eyes, I think, ya. He came in one morning, he said he’s got this little bottle of stuff. He says, “I can give you injections if you want,” he says, “it could help if it is actually vitamin E. It could do nothing if it’s water or it could kill you if it’s something else, I don’t know, I have no way of finding out.” He says, “What do you want to do? ” I said, “Give it a shot, I can’t lose much.” I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t see, I wasn’t in great shape, you know, you gamble. And after about a week of these shots once a day, I woke up one morning and I could see the little glimmer of light where the window was in this room, and then in about a week I could see again.
