Can't think of a spiffy title....

So, I got one of my many doctor's appointments confused... DANGIT!! I got the right office - my opthamologist but had the wrong test. It was a good/bad thing. It was not time for my vision field test - that headache has been scheduled for July. It was, however, my complete eye exam and meant dilation. Ever had your eyes dilated? Maximum? Luckily this was only 50% and it still took until the morning for my pupils to be normal...

The pupils so dilated that you look like a really bad junkie. And, you have to wear your sunglasses indoors and take the arm of my other half to lead me back to the car. I was worried about running over little kids and old people.... But that much light coming through the eyes is not fun!!! My eye doc is so sweet... Considering I saw her every 2 weeks for the first 3 months of my diagnosing bout of optic neuritis and then have seen her every 6 months since then for tests. She said she could not even see the scar tissue on my nerve but last time she could see it. I'm still testing at 20/20 as well!!!! She always asks about how the MS is going and how my neuro is and what treatments I'm doing. She's not the designated eye specialist for those of us with MS but I don't want to change and unless I start having more than just the optic neuritis issues I'm not going to change. I know she's got tons of patients but she and I still joke about that first day we met. I just remember her taking me time to personally walk me back up to the neuro's office and giving me a true, full body hug and giving me her pager number if I had any issues.... They might be doc's in a box but they're damn good docs in those boxes!!

I still feel so lucky that I've got my vision back. I've read about so many stories where people don't get their vision back or don't get back enough to return to the work force. And, considering I had zero sight in that eye and severely reduced peripheral vision in my other one...

Anyways, another doc's visit down. I should have started counting.... I'd have to be in the triple digits by now!!! AHHAHAHAHAHAH Back to the back doc on Thursday and then Super Bowl party on Sunday!!! WOOO HOOO!!! GO STEELERS!!!!!
