Today we found out why my vision is distorted and blurry at times. I have dry eyes for sure, but I also have small cataracts on both lens. They are not enough for surgery yet, but they are distorting my lens and have changed my vision. They also cast a shadow which makes it harder to see at night. The good news is that these are manageable. I will use medication for dry eyes and have my vision tested in two weeks. The ophthalmologist also looked at my optic nerves. Since they are not inflamed I do not have MS which was the first fear. He also does not believe that I have a brain tumor, but will check my field of vision at the next appointment. If I pass that test I do not have to have an MRI!! I was very glad to hear that.
In addition to this great news I was also able to attend Cameron's field trip today. The fifth grade has been studying matter and molecules and decided to explore Science Central for some hands on activities. I thought it was a wonderful adventure. They learned about the stages of matter and "walked on the moon." Cameron rode a bike that was perched at least two stories in the air. There were fun mirrors and several exhibits to try. I believe his favorite was the slanted room. It made for some great pictures as it was hard to travel up and down without falling. I was thrilled to spend time with him. He has made great friends at Bethany and they have fostered his learning in a way that I had hoped for. It was an awesome day for both of us and thankfully Cam's asthma is finally a little better.
