Ouch and Umm? What the heck was that?
Oct. 5th, 2015 11:57 amSo, yesterday I woke up at the usual time, had a cup of tea and slice of toast, then sat down watched two minutes of Murder She Wrote (with a very young Linda Hamilton!), then opened my laptop and COULD NOT READ ANYTHING due to this weird crescent shaped wavy line that got bigger and bigger across my field of vision in my right eye. I couldn't read any text at all.
I took off my glasses, my head started to hurt and I closed my eyes. It got better. I got up to make some whipped cream and it started all over again, this time in my left eye. I made what I needed to make, then sat down in a dark room, with my eyes closed and my glasses off. It eventually went away, but I STILL have a dull ache in my head.
The internet says this was an optical migraine? I've only ever had one migraine before (after watching John Carter in 3D, not pleasant), so this was new and painful and not fun. I'm off to the eye doctor tomorrow to have things checked out vision-wise, simply because glaucoma and cataracts run in the family. My mother also had a macular hole, so I'm being cautious.
So...not a fun day. Although, I made an awesome Key Lime Pie using this recipe. SO good.
How is everyone?
