I think I might be losing my eyesight .
Every day, it gets harder and harder to read text om either of my screens.
Every day, the bigger and bigger text has to be for for me to have any chance of being able to read it.
Text I could read just fine a month ago is a grey blur to me now. I can barely read the comments on TikTok any more. I can’t read the clock on my computer screen at all any more. Even text on our big screen TV is hard to read.
And my diabetes is largely uncontrolled. So diabetic loss of vision is a real possibility.
And that freaks me the fudge out.
I’ve actually known about this for over a week. It’s just taken me this long to calm down enough to talk about it.
Of course, none of this would be a problem if my goddamned glasses worked.
Patent readers know that my current glasses make me farsighted. Things have to be around three feet away for me to be able to see them clearly.
So when I talk about my eyesight getting worse, I mean my unaided eyesight. And that’s what I use the most, which might be part of the problem.
I can’t wear them while looking at screens, as the screens are too close. And looking at either my computer or my tablet is what I do all goddamned day.
So clearly I need to get my elephantine buttocks to the optometrist to get a new prescription so I can order glasses that work for how my eyes are now.
And this time, with no interference from my eye surgeon Doctor Vaezi.
More after the break.
So far so good
My drugs continue to hold back the pain from whatever bug I have.
I know the bug is still there because some symptoms remain. My throat and ears and Eustachian tubes are still sore, for instance.And I still feel weak.
Even more so than usual! Sigh.
So I know that all I have do ne is suppress the worst of my symptoms.
The pain is gone but the malady lingers on.
That’s kind of a joke.
Anyhow, I remain concerned about this bug. As you know, before the drugs kicked in, I was in a whole lot of pain.
So this clearly is no mere case of the sniffles. It causes body wide inflammation of muscle tissues and that is not usually a symptom when I get the flu.
Could be covid, I suppose. Symptoms match. Based on that, I think I had better give Wound Care a pass.
They’re gonna ask if I have Covid symptoms and I ain’t gonna lie. So I might as well stay home where I can only infect Julian.
Sorry about that, Julian.
So I will have to miss my wound Care appointment. Annoyingly, I can’t call them beforehand because my appointment isi n the first slot of the day, 8:45 am.
Oh well. I will stumble through somehow. I always do.
I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
