Last of the Mohicans_
The end of an era occurred over this past weekend. I had my first ever eye doc check-up since for the past month I've been seeing a white flash go from up to down the side of my right eye. My mom thought it was a symptom of retinal detachment, so she suggested I go get it checked out. I've also been getting headaches due to my right eye's vision being slightly blurred than my left. [Si, si, I did many self-eye exams + the right is definitely wiggin' out on me.]
While filling out the patient form at the eye doc's office, I come to a section where you check boxes of certain health conditions you may or may not possess. One of the items is "Works at a computer". I'm thinking, "Oh great." *check_yes*
Long story short, the doc said my retina looked perfect, but I will need glasses. Fact: I am the last in my family to acquire glasses. The doc diagnosed my vision as "20/20 with a prescription". Now, is that even possible? If my vision is less than clear/perfect, doesn't that define my vision as less than 20/20? No idea how that works... This means, that I am neither near-sided or far-sided, but will require glasses while I am working at a computer or seeing anything close distance in order to stop the headaches... She thinks that I am having "optical migraines", which could be causing the light flashes. She said the light flashes I was describing to her did not sound like the symptoms of retinal detachment. *phew*
"Computer glasses" or "reading glasses" is what she called it. Oke. I'm down with that. Hopefully, that's all they'll ever be + my eyesight will remain "20/20 with a prescription" because I think I would not enjoy wearing contacts on a daily basis. But, that's just me. :P I will be receiving my swanky specs 10-15 days from my appointment. If you're lucky enough, maybe I will post a visual. ;)

My dad called last night to let me know that my doggie Nala was just diagnosed with Diabetes. :((( She was a plump 45 pounds when I last saw her + now she is 35 pounds, which is the healthier weight for her size [yeh, she was a tad overweight]. But, unfortunately, she lost the weight for being sick, which wasn't the way we wanted her to slim down. :( She was born in 2k1, so in my mind Nala is still my baby [even though in doggie years is older than I, hehe].
Today, she will be at the vet overnight so the doc can monitor how much insulin she will need on a daily basis. I'm so sad that she will have to get shots daily for the rest of her life. Luckily, my dad said that she didn't even feel it when the doc gave her her first insulin shot. My poor baby...
