Double Vision

So yesterday I woke up with double vision.  I thought it was just a syptom of the flu stuff I’ve had for the past two weeks.  I still struggled through the day with one eye closed.  I gave my talk to the LSS and ended up running around with Mr M, Beeballer, and LondonPlayboy throughout the day.  I finally ran out of energy and came home.  I thought I could sleep off whatever was happening.  So this morning I woke up and it was worse than ever.  I am so dizzy and the back of my head hurts.  I feel like my brain is too big for my head.  I called the NHS nurse line through my uni and started investigating online.  After answering questions to this rude dude for ages, with an accent I couldn’t understand and the gall to ask me if my first language was English, a doctor finally called me.  She talked me through my symptoms and told me to go to the eye specialty A&E near me.

So I waited for the bus for ages in the rain and finally got to the hospital.  It was one hell of a trip as I was so dizzy and exhausted.  All I want to do is hold onto the ground rally tightly to keep from falling off the earth.  I work my way through the whole process.  It takes about two hours.  Lots of questions and tests.  There was even a blood test.  For a second I had a diabetes scare.  But I don’t have that.  I have a problem with a nerve in my right eye.  It isn’t sending the right signals to the muscle in my eye.  So it’s not positioning correctly.  I have to go back tomorrow for 2 hours of tests to determine if it’s a lifelong problem or a new problem.  Worst case scenario I have to have surgery somewhere between my eye and my brain.  I dunno if it’s eye surgery or brain surgery, but I’m not exactly excited.  Tomorrow they might give me special glasses as a short term fix.  Yay.
