Savvy Toddler Mom

Blah, blah, blah… I’ve neglected my blog again… blah, blah, blah.

And on to the point…

I went to a retina specialist today.  I have a “floater” in my right eye.  So, for the second time this year, I got my eyes dilated and remembered too late that when that happens, I CAN’T SEE.  Everything is totally blurry.  My pupils are so huge!  I look really freaky.  They really shouldn’t let people drive like that.  So, here I am, trying to drive, use a computer, text/email on my blackberry (not all at the same time, of course)… and all are completely futile.  I wind up calling a coworker and having her relay the office happenings and ask for one favor after another.

Once I’m home, I have to wear my sunglasses for the rest of the evening.  Making dinner, reading bedtime stories, and paying bills, all take on a new level of challenge.

Lucky me, though!  I get to do it again tomorrow. The doctor wants to look at my eye under his super-duper powerful scanning machine (which is at his Layton office, not his Salt Lake office).  He’s trying to see the same blot in my vision that I see, so that he can make sure it is “just” some vicorous (spelling?) condensation and not a closed blood vessel.

A glimpse into my life today!  “My future is so bright… I gotta wear… shades.”
