I haven’t written a post in a while.
You might know about all the medical issues that the doctors discovered after my fall last June.
Well, my eyes started bothering me a while back, so I got an appointment with my ophthalmologist in early May, and began a bunch of visits, with tests included. The pressure in my eyes was sky-high, but I think my field-of-vision test went pretty well.
I finally received a diagnosis at the end of June. It turns out I have glaucoma.
There is nothing wrong with your eyes. The photo is fuzzy because I held my phone really close to my face to get the shot. However, yesterday I had fuzzy vision, so that’s about how I would have seen things.
I’m not likely to go blind, as I would have if I lived in the 19th Century. I’m taking my prescription drops, and my doctor has not brought up any cause for concern, beyond, you know, it’s glaucoma.
I’ve been a little freaked out, so I haven’t even looked up glaucoma online.
I have been writing, difficult as it has been to concentrate. I decided to take a break from the story today, so I’ve been working on a Large Print edition of That Tender Light. When I started the project of doing all my books in the LP format , I had no idea I might enjoy re-reading the book better that way.
Have a great Independence Day tomorrow!
