Appt with the Neuro Opthamologist

Today @ 2:00 p.m. I go to the Neuro Opthamologist. Hopefully he can shed some light on what is going on with my eye. I will post something when I get back. Ususally they don't give you answers right away, but maybe today will be different.

Your slightly messed up host,

Update on my eye

Sorry it has been so long since I updated about my eye. I am now being sent to an Neuro Opthamologist. They have determined that whatever is wrong with my eye can't be from the Thalamic Syndrome, although it does appear to be Neurological. I have my appointment a week from today. We will see what he has to say!

Thanks for all your prayers!

Blessings,
Keri

Update

Lets see...no pun intended...I recieved a call from the Opthamologist on Tuesday afternoon. He reported that the field of vision test showed that the optic nerve in my left eye is definately the culprit. He wanted to call my neurologist to go over the last MRI of the brain I had and then he would get back to me on the next test they would like to do. I did not get to speak to him as he left all of this as a voicemail, so I have not been able to ask him questions. I did call Dr. Pete and he explained what he knew from the notes the Opthamologist sent him. That helped a little, but I am still not sure what is going on. My up close vision is fine as long as I don't have to read for a long period of time. My distance vision is distorted and blurry. I feel like my eyes are in a fight against eachother and am having pain in the left eye. FRUSTRATING! I really thought that I was done with all of this. You know I went to the Mayo clinic, they gave me a diagnosis and that was that! Ha I was wrong. I think a couple more days and I will be done feeling sorry for myself. I am hopeful that this will clear itself up and I will be seeing just fine in the very near future.

Vision Test

I had my field of vision test done yesterday. Not a painful test, but seem to stress me out due to not being able to see with my left eye. Only took about 15 minutes and then I was on my way home. Of course I won't know anything for a few days. I will let you all know when I find something out.

It is another gourgeous day out. Already went for a short walk. I always have to think twice about that due to it making my legs weak, but I had to. Sometimes I have to pick the discomfort to enjoy the things I love to do. Any of you know what I am talking about?

Blessing all.
