Interesting.

Interesting is the word to describe the events of today. Most of it was standard activity, but half way through the day I suddenly couldn't see. First I could focus on one object but when I moved my eyes everything went blurry. It progressed enough to where I had very little peripheral vision, and none in some spots. I then got this terrible headache and my right hand started to tingle. I thought about going to the ER because sudden vision loss is usually super serious, but I was home alone with Tara so I said screw it. Right now my vision is somewhat better. Better being that my direct vision is okay and I can read but my peripheral sucks.

I have perfect vision. There has only been one other time in my life where I had something sudden like this happen to my vision. I went blind in my right eye for about 30 minutes a few years ago. What happened today was almost stroke like, and considering I have/had two blot clots in my right calf I'm worry that something has happened. I started my intense exercise program today so I wonder if all that movement moved a clot?

The hematologist should've just given me fucking blood thinners. I'm extremely pissed off now. If my vision is screwed forever because they didn't want to give me a blood thinner because I'm only 24 I'm going to implode. Of course some of it is my fault because I haven't gotten around to getting my PAI-1, Protein S, and Homocysteine levels checked out again. Tomorrow will be the day! Along with another 45 minute MRI I bet.

Since this entry was all doom and gloom I have a gift: Loaf. In. Hat.
