Fading to black, he's popping down Prozac, nobody knows the highs and lows
Well, it's been almost 4 months since I last updated.
All things considered, my life has been moving along nicely. Although, I have had several visits during my spring break (which unfortunately is ending)to see eye doctors. To make a long story shorter, I noticed blurryiness in my left eye when I went to get my license renewed at the beginning of the month. So then I scheduled an eye appointment to get my eyes checked out. The blurriness isn't much, I only notice it when it's only my left eye that I'm using and it's only really noticable when reading with it. Anyway, so I had my eyes checked and it turns out that my left eye is ever so slightly near sighted. No big deal, it's so slight that getting glasses is silly. However, it doesn't end there. My opthemologist saw something on the back of my eye but he wasn't sure what it was. He spent a fair amount of time looking at it, and then he looked at it again. He decided that another person should also look at it since he wasn't sure what it was though he thought it was scratching or something on my retina. So, I scheduled another appointment for Friday (that was Tuesday) and went back and had my eyes dialated again and another doctor looked at my left eye and also thought it was something with the retina but that eye clinic didn't have any retina specialists so he refered me to a retina specialist. Since my eyes were already dialated, he thought that maybe I should jjsut try to see another one that morning. So the secretary called one in the building but they weren't there on Fridays. Then she called another one, and there were openings in like Plymouth and somewhere else, both of which not near where I was. So then they tryed a third specialist and they were at their downtown St. Paul location but they could get me in that morning. So After they faxed over a map of where they were and the secretary explained to me how to get there (I culdn't read and of the words on the page since my eyes were still dialated) I then drove downtown. After I got there, I had to wait around until everyone else had been seen and then the doctor saw me. He told me that I had an inflamation in my vitrious (which was what the other two othemologists basically thought it was) and that it was treatable but before he did that, he wanted to run some diagnostic tests to see if they could determine what caused it (though 50% of cases don't have an identifiable cause). So they sent me over to get a CT scan on my head and then they gave me the number of another specialist to set up an appointment with in like the next week or so. And then by that time it was almost one, I hadn't eaten at all that day and my mother and sister were wondering where I was because I should have been done a while ago with the first one. By the time I was driving home, my eyes had mostly adjusted back.
Other than that bit of interest my life is pretty mundane. Study, study, work, study, spend time with Jen, study. I've actually stayed on top of all of my reading in 3 of my classes, which is a first for me). I'm also, on top of school work, designing the lights for the spring show, which is Jesus Christ Superstar. People should go to it. Hopefully it will be full of pretty lights and the like. And that pretty much all I have to update about for now. And I promise I'll update sooner than 4 months this time.
