IN THE DARK

Eyes aren’t great today. However, I somehow now have two hospital appointments in two different hospitals.

I’m still having trouble describing it. It’s not a focus thing (and of course, the optician would have picked that up). It’s more like the world is wobbling. It’s as though my eyes are trying to do two different things at the same time. It’s not constant, but today it’s so frequent that I don’t feel good about keeping my eyes open. I haven’t left the house. I’m just lying here, listening to the cricket, And yes, this has taken me ages (40 minutes) to write so far.

One scan is a brain scan. That’s on Tuesday, inside some sort of a machine from the future I suppose. The other is a more detailed eye test at the end of the month. There are a lot of things to try to see before then, and a lot of tricky questions to answer.

For today, when I should be sorting my flat out, I’m lying in the dark with England playing India at Lord’s, feeling sorry for myself.
