Crooked Pigtails

The zero information update

Results from the test I had yesterday will not be available until early next week.  **loud exhale** 

I don't understand the reasoning (that the pictures have to be sent away) because when I called the specialist yesterday I was asked to call back with the results so my file could be properly assembled prior to my appointment at that new office.  I explained that my test was scheduled for late afternoon so I probably wouldn't be calling back with the results until morning and she said that was fine.  Wouldn't that indicate she expected me to have same day results?

Grrrr...

On the bright side: the Pumpkin Spice Latte has returned! 

And Sherry is another year older.  Head on over there and wish her a Happy Birthday.

Hence the blog silence

So, I have swelling on my retina.  We don't know the cause.  I have more testing this afternoon, and, regardless what they tell me, I have already made an appointment with a retina specialist for next week.  Meanwhile, the vision in my right eye is blurred, and my left eye aches from the strain of trying to compensate.  Hence, the blog silence: attempting to focus the computer screen is just plain frustrating.

Also frustrating:

• I haven't been able to read before going to bed for almost two weeks.
• This includes reading to Miss A before her bedtime.  Thankfully, S is able to read to her while I listen to Miss H read to me, so the girl's routine is not completely interrupted---though they are accustomed to switching parents each night, so there have been bumpy moments.
• For the last month or so, I have been taking lots of blurry photos.  I thought something was wrong with my (relatively) new camera, but it is now sinking in that it is my vision and not the camera.
• Our sweet, adorable, little kitten is a pain in the ass.  And, not in the normal, frisky, busy kitten way---she bites.  The vet gave us some suggestions for dealing with her "mouthiness", but they don't seem to be working, and I am less and less enamored with Miss Daisy.  She is lucky she is so damn adorable.

I could go on, but this is turning out quite whiny.  Not to mention, I am typing with my eyes closed and it will probably take me twenty minutes to complete spell check.  I will try not to leave you hanging on this next test.

Learn from my mistakes

Never, ever, under any circumstance, from any emotional or reasonable stance, Google your changing health symptoms.  Just don't.

Trust me on that one.

I'm headed to the Ophthalmologist this afternoon.  Wish me luck.
