Just Like Sergeant Schultz….

I see nothing! Today was my eye examination. Good news, I still have two, one on each side of my nose! Since it was the first time that the VA actually conducted the exam (as opposed to sending me out to some place in town and paying for it) I had to endure the dreaded dilation. You know, those drops they put in your eyes so your pupils become bigger than your head, so they can look all the way back. I always tell them to not bother because there’s no brain back there to look at. They never believe me until they look. My prescription hasn’t changed much. My pressure is normal (which is great and, to me, the most important thing considering the history of glaucoma in my family). They looked at the histoplasmosis scars and said there was no problem. (Me and my big mouth had to mention them….but it’s better than them looking and saying, “Holy cow, what’s THAT?”) So now I’m home, with the lights either off or as dim as I can make them, waiting for those dilation drops to wear off. I’ll see y’all tomorrow. Until then, I see NOTHING!!!!! Tell ‘em, Sgt. Schultz!
