It does suck, doesnt it?

I went to the eye doctor today to make sure my right eye was ok. Right side of my face is numb and that includes the eyeball and eyelids, so I had my eyes checked.

Had a different ophthalmologist today since mine is on vacation or something. The guy I had today was great. Said my optic nerves are nice and pink and he would never have known that I had at least 2 episodes of optic neuritis if he hadnt read about it in my records.

With correction, my eyes see 20/20. He did give me a new Rx for glasses and the name of an ointment to put in my right eye when I go to bed while my face is numb. Said there's a danger that I could open my eye while I'm sleeping if my eyelid is numb, and there's a possibility that I could hurt my cornea if that happens. The goo would keep my eye nice and juicy instead of dry and yucky.

I forgot to go get that tonight (we were having baseball sized hail. I figured I could wait)

Not sure I want to go shopping for new frames while my face is numb. I keep taking off my glasses right now because they feel heavy on my nose that's half numb. (and my glasses are really light)

The numbness has either gotten a little better, or I'm getting used to it, because it's not driving me as nuts as it was the other day. Of course, as soon as I say something like that out loud, it'll immediately get worse again. I'm sure 20 minutes after I post this, I'll feel something change.

At least that's how it's seemed to be going for me lately.
