An Affront to My Eyes
Barf, Norm Coleman (R (previously D)-MN) is speaking on my TV…. Ah better.
There was another affront to my eyes this morning. Frequent (and no doubt, grateful) readers of this blog will recall a frightening eye experience just one month previous. Well, this morning brought another fun adventure into horrific maladies that appear to affect only me: today’s affliction was an ocular migraine.
Actually, I got one of these sometime in the last month. I was reading the morning news on my computer when all of a sudden I was having an extremely difficult time making sense of the stories. Someone had decided to write in a language I didn’t understand. Or my brain had decided to mush lines of text together to create words I did not understand, largely because they weren’t words. This was followed by an arc of sparkly cross-hatches on the left side of my vision. Followed by driving my boyfriend to work. Followed by increasing nausea. Followed by a frantic drive to Osco to buy some Excedrin. Followed by being so shaky that I dropped the Excedrin. Followed by three hours of sleeping on my mother’s couch before I could move again.
It was awesome.
This morning I had a bit of a headache. And, this will sound familiar, I suddenly realized that I was having trouble reading the news and the sparkly cross-hatches were back. Allow me to illustrate with a hastily-drawn and fairly useless paint image:
I headed for the medicine cabinet to head off my head, and couldn’t find the Excedrin. I searched all over the house before returning to the cabinet, where I knew the Excedrin had to be. Finally, I thought to move my head farther to the left, and I could finally see it on the shelf. Apparently, my left eye had just removed that part of the cabinet from my field of vision. I literally picked up something next to it and didn’t see it.
How alarming is this!!!
