About 5 or 6 weeks ago my vision went to hell -- just all of the
sudden, with no warning, in both eyes. Based on an internet search, it
looks like maybe I have "ocular migraine" symptoms, or something
similar to that. An ocular migraine is basically a migraine headache
without the headache. except I have it all the time instead of just
sometimes.
Or, maybe I had a stroke; I don't feel like I've had a stroke, though
-- everything else seems to be normal. I did go to an eye doctor and
she said there was nothing wrong with my eyes, but she did notice a
spot on one of my eyelids which turned out to be basil-cell cancer. So
I had that spot removed Friday and they put a patch on that eye and it
needs to stay on until Monday.
Anyway, the bottom line is that reading and writing is a real chore
now, and no fun at all; it now takes me perhaps 20 or 30 times as long
to read (or proof read) a paragraph as it used to. So, I might
restrict future posts to short, dazzlingly brilliant quips and short
replies, or perhaps no reply at all.
