and in other news…
These posts are just falling all over themselves today, aren’t they?
I saw Dr. Barnet this morning, finally (after a reschedule of a reschedule).
His recommendation is to “wait and see” with my eyes. They are still changing, even a year after the surgery. Fortunately, since he considers this a part of “ongoing treatment”, all visits will be on their tab, and he told me if anyone tries to argue with me about it, to tell them to go talk to him. teehee!
So anyway. I discovered today that my left eye is now slightly worse than my right…whereas before, the left was always better than the right.
I’m ok with it I suppose. I manage ok, and while seeing street signs at night is a little iffy, at least in the distance, as long as I’m not driving anywhere unfamiliar it’s no biggie.
In other eye-related news, I had an “episode” last week at work (either Monday or Tuesday, can’t remember anymore), where the right side of my peripheral vision just up and left the building. And bits of my central vision, too. But it wasn’t just blackness… it was more of a white-ish dance-y flickering.
It freaked me out, but it wasn’t the first time it has happened. Oh, and it was in both eyes. Followed by an excruciating headache. A headache that took four Advil (in the span of an hour), to finally conquer (when normally two will do it nicely).
I brought this up to Dr. Barnet, and his diagnosis was, “classic migraine”. I asked this after he had already looked in my eyeballs with the really bright light, and he didn’t think it was anything else but a migraine. Oh joy. Migraines. Whee!
He did recommend I visit my regular doctor if they started to happen on a more regular basis, as he says there are some pretty good migraine medicines these days.
Up until last week it hadn’t happened in a long while… probably more than a year I think, if not longer than that, since I don’t recall having an “episode” since my lasik surgery. I just hope they don’t start happening on a more regular basis, especially while I’m at work. I was totally useless (during the blind spot part) for about 20 minutes. I did try to work while it was happening but when it started creeping into my central vision, it made it really hard to see what I was doing. Bleh. Not fun.
But anyway… enough of that. Time to go get dinner!
