Life in Geezerville: Maybe Edition

I'm feeling a bit hopeful tonight. Let me tell you why. This afternoon I drove the other DrC to the store and I waited in the car. It's far too exhausting to go shopping right now (I tried yesterday and it was not any fun). So, I stayed in the car while he bought groceries. 

While waiting for him to return, I pulled out my iPhone and started to play a game...but the car was in the shade and with my sunglasses on, it was too dark to see the screen...I took off my sunglasses. Guess what? I could see the screen without a blur or without double vision. At first, I did not believe what I was seeing, so I closed one eye and looked at the screen...then I closed the other eye and looked at the screen...then I looked at the screen without both eyes and I could see it clearly. No double vision! Then I bravely looked out the car window to see if I could see things outside without double vision and sadly, the double vision was still there--only it was better. Instead of the two images being about 8 inches apart, they were about an inch apart. This is different than what I saw on Friday at the eye doctor's office. It was a LOT different. Since Friday my eyes have started to improve.

When the other DrC came back to the car I told him of my little experiment and he was delighted. I put on my sunglasses with the patch and drove back home. All afternoon I experimented with single vision with both eyes and I've determined that I have single vision to about 30 inches. Past that mark, the double vision returns...but I can feel my eye muscles trying their best to get both eyes in focus on a point.

This evening the other DrC did a "vision test" of having me follow his fingers moving up down right and left. He said both eyes were tracking. Maybe, just maybe, my eyes are on the mend. I'm still energy-free--and I have an excuse for that now. My body is working so hard to get my eyes to work, it does not have time to give me energy too. That's my story and  I'm sticking with it. Remember, we're all in this together.
