Eye know a little more now.

Well, if you have been following my posts lately you'll recognize why I used the word "eye" incorrectly in my title. I finally did insist (to the doctor's office) on coming in to see the eye doctor, mostly for reassurance that the hideous sight in my right eye is, indeed, supposed to be hideous.
He looked at my eye, did all the tests I am so used to by now (Who else gets startled by that one particular eye test that sends a puff of air into your eye?), and told me that it was healing nicely. He went over with me what to expect, and I told him I mainly just wanted reassurance that it was still okay. I also requested a nausea medication that had previously been given to me in the hospital. It worked a lot better than what the eye doctor had originally prescribed. By midday, the 20/20 in one and a big blur in the other leaves me pretty nauseated.
I go back in a month. He said I should probably expect this blur for a couple of months. The headache and nausea from the messed up vision is a pain, but it will all be worth it. That is what I'm going to keep telling myself.

Reassurance is good.. better safe than sorry. Glad everything's going okay. Did you ask him about wearing a patch to avoid the nausea?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I tried it a couple of weeks ago. I was going to just wear it while watching television. And if it helped I was going to call and ask the doctor office. Ten minutes in and it hadn't helped. Tried it the next day for ten minutes, and no help. So in turns out I didn't even have to ask.

Oh dear a couple more months with blur? How annoying poor Ambie.

I would not really say that the puff of air is actually startling, but we instinctively blink as soon as it hits the eye. It is some time since I have had the pressure of the eye checked that way and recently they have tended to use a small protrusion to push against the eye.
