Further evidence that I'm falling apart
Had my yearly appointment with the eye doctor to get a new prescription and what not. Well, things didn't go as planned. First, things weren't lining up the way they're supposed to, which meant that my astigmatism was back with a vengeance. But even compensating for that failed and my doctor started to run more tests.
Well, in the end, one eye is 'puffier' than the other, left eye bulging out significantly and man, did it hurt when he pressed down. Turns out I might have iritis, which is basically arthritis, in my left eye. So for a week I get to take some drops and wear my glasses the whole time and go back again next week. Meanwhile, he'll call around to some associates and get me in with a good opthamologist to have me checked out.
I did look it up and while I haven't felt any strain or the like, I've had the small black spots dancing in front of me once in a while. No idea of how long it's been going on, though, which is bad. Good grief, does that mean I need to start writing down things as soon as I notice them? Gad, makes me feel like a hypochondriac! Oh, a slight pain! I must have (insert horrible disease here) and I'm gonna die!
*sigh*
So now it'll be a wait and see what happens next. Get it? See? Ha! I crack myself up.
