I'll never see things the same way again.

Since Sunday I've been struggling with what I thought was a visual aura.  But, as days past and the aura wasn't going away and I never got a migraine my neurologist was worried that is was something more serious and wanted me to see an ophthalmologist asap.

So They put me through a bunch of test. Some before dilating my pupils and some after.

Sam says I look creepy with dilated pupils.

The conclusion? I have a lesions in my eye. Let me try and break this down.

This is a picture of my left eye. Sure, it has it's problems, like a lazy eye and astigmatism but it doesn't have a lesion. 

Now, here is a picture of my right eye with it's new fancy lesion. Can you see the difference? It has a dip. That is bad. That is what is causing my vision problems.

Here is another view for a different test. This one is a little harder to see. Where the arrow is it should be a darker pink perfectly circular area. If you notice, it has this lighter pink area with a tint of orange chunk in it. That is the lesion.

Such a small thing to cause so much trouble.

According to the ophthalmologist, this new development has nothing to do with MS. My doctor said I was just that lucky. Yes, she said that. Also, there is a pretty good chance that this is permanent. They scheduled me to see a retina specialist in April to see of there are any changes and to run more tests.

This thing makes reading difficult. My job is to read a computer screen. Even if it is for only 4 hours, it's exhausting and I don't know if I can do it everyday. I got a letter to excuse me from work for the next week, but then what? My doctor said I may just get used to it. I pray that it will either go away or I will be able to work around it.  Only time will tell.
