eye doc

I went to the eye doctor last week. Originally they thought my focusing and dizziness had something to do with my eyes. So I went and saw Dr. Kirks. He is wonderful. He ran tons of tests and discovered that my focusing is solely from the tumor. It has not effected my vision one bit. YAY!!! But he did seem to notice that I was slightly nearsided. So he prescribed glasses for driving, night and distant. I have been seeing halos and glares with lighting. So I have to wear glasses if I go to the movies, cards game or any other event that I would like to see clearer. No big deal, they actually look pretty darn cute. I will pick them up on Friday. And yes they are PINK!!
I also went to my primary physician on Monday for a follow up on the medication she prescribed. She took me off the meds since they didn’t seem to be helping with my memory. They ruled out that the memory loss had to do with the tumor. So we have another obstacle. Dr. Mabe thinks that I may be suffering with adult ADD. She thinks that I am unable to clearly pay attention therefore my brain is not collecting everything that should be stored in my brain. Hum who would have thought? So she has put me on a non stimulant ADD medication. I will be on this med for about 6 weeks, and then she will see me aging. If this medication does not improve my memory then she will be referring me for more neurological testing. So we are just taking in all the information and trying to get back to normal as soon as we can.
I had a scary dizzy spell on Tuesday. I took some of my clients to the Science center for a fun social outing. We went into an optical illusion room. WOW! I was instantly confused, dizzy, and very nauseous. A coworker had to take my kiddo for me b/c I had to immediately leave the room. I never thought spirals, checkers and squiggly lines would have such an effect on my balance. I even had difficulty with wearing a black and white striped dress yesterday. Crazy. So as you can imagine I am very ready to get this thing out of my head. August 22 can’t get here soon enough!!
