January 19, 2009 I went in for an annual eye exam. I have been doing this basically since the 6th grade. That is when I started wearing glasses. I received my first pair of contacts my sophomore year of high school at Washington Sr High in Sioux Falls, SD. Now my high school isn't a high school any more it is called the Washington Pavilion but I digress.
Nathan, my 11 year old son, came with me. He had never seen the eye doctor before. The nurse asked if he had ever had his eye's examined and we said only what they do at school. She tested his eyes with the prescription machine, I believe is what it is, and the lucky dog has perfect eye sight. Ok, I am happy for him. Glasses can be a pain especially if you are involved in sports. I digress again.
Anyway, everything was looking good for me. My eye's hadn't changed enough to warrant a new prescription. (Even though I really like my glasses it would be fun to have another pair.) Before I was done he said he would need to dilate my eye's and take some pictures. Now I had told them of my new diagnosis so they were aware. After the pictures the doctor showed me that I had some hemorrhaging in both of my eyes and that we will need to keep an "eye" on it. He said it is more then likely from my leukemia and that my medicine I am on should help take care of it. I will go back and see him in two months to have more pictures taken again. In the meantime, he said he would send the report off to my doctors. I will need to remember to ask if they have received those when I go in Thursday for my blood draw.
So I was done but everything was so BRIGHT. I hate that dilation stuff.
