booyeah! no glacoma!
Saturday, July 10, 2004

so yeah, been kind of more nervous than usual lately because I went in for an eye exam [haven't had one in 4 years... yeah I know uncontrolled diabetics should go every year, but I didn't have any health insurance... ] so the doc is like, "um... have you been told that your left eye is slightly off before?" what? off how? like off I need glasses? because I already know I do, or off like you have a crazy lazy eye thing? turns out my eye was swollen. and so he couldn't figure out what my perscription should be because that swollen eye wouldn't focuss at all. so he made an appointment for me for a week later... could be perminent damage due to out of controll BG, could be glacoma, could be catarats... joy of joys. so I sat around being worried all week. its kind of a trend for me. anyhoo. went back, had more tests taken, my sight was a bit better [which can happen if my blood sugar happens to be good that day] but I do have a bit of perminent damage to my left eye due to brittle type one diabetes... I've decided not to think about the possibility of going blind before I'm forty. its easier that way.
