Eye Doctor Follow Up

Today was my follow-up appointment with my eye doctor. (See this post if you can’t remember why I had a follow up appointment). To make a long story short, I was told by my eye doctor a month ago not to wear my contacts for a month.

Well, I’ve been wearing my contacts anyway, but just not nearly as often. Anytime I’m home, I wear my glasses. I just cannot see nearly as well with my glasses because I have a bit of a focusing problem.

So I figured the eye doctor would be a bit upset with me. But when I confessed my sin to him today, he took it in stride. Thankfully my eyes have healed from the last time he saw me. He said my eyes were looking good and that I can now wear my contacts for up to 8 hours per day.

YAY!!!!!!! Seriously, I was SO happy to hear this. People who don’t have bad vision don’t understand the concept of not being able to see clearly. But those of you who do…… you know why I’m so happy.

Anyway, I also finally admitted to him that I’ve been getting blurred vision in my left eye - mostly in the afternoons - which lasts for several hours, along with pain that occurs somewhere around the left side of my face. This is something I’ve been getting for several months now, and recently it’s gotten worse. He was concerned and told me that the next time this happens, to call him and try and get down there for an eye pressure test right away. He said “I’m not trying to scare you or anything, but it’s important we find out why this is happening. Try and keep a journal of when this happens, and call the office and tell them you need to come down for a pressure test when this occurs.”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat. I’ll add this to my list of 1,432,634 other things I need to do.

Anyway, moving on… diet stuff. Nothing much to report today on that front. I woke up around 11am, (had trouble falling asleep last night due to major stress), wasn’t hungry. Everything looked disgusting, so I didn’t have breakfast. I was hungry around 2pm, so I ate. That about sums up my daily food count so far. It’s 7:30pm right now, and I’m sure I’ll eat dinner at some point. No exercise today, I have a headache and feel like crap. (I always get a headache after the eye doctor’s, bright lights and air being squirted into my eyes aren’t exceedingly fun to endure).

I’m hoping to go back to my regular schedule tomorrow, gym-wise at least.
