My eyes are a thing of confusion for people. If you ask me, my body is body is broken. I have pretty good vision. I was told that it have 20/15 vision. So not to bad.
The biggest problem. I have a blind spot I have noted in my right eye, but they did a test and it's the same in both eyes.
To try to explain this. If you consider each eye by itself draw a line up and down to divide it in half. Have another line that divides the eye horizontally in half. Now the part of both my eyes that can't see and was tested is the upper right quadrant when I am looking forward. I don't notice the left eye. The right eye I do notice. I have a difficult time seeing some things completely so I have to turn my head to the right to get the whole picture.
I can still see to read but I have noticed sentences that just end so I have to turn my head to see the end of the sentence. I have also noticed that my right eye will feel like it is throbbing intermittently but like so many other things it comes and goes.
And in other news, tuesday I want to the dentist. And technically I am still in the military so I had to go to the dentist on post. It wasn't difficult until I got there.
I had to have to go to the one on post and I didn't have my ID. And what could have been really easy wasn't. From one building me and the nurse that was with me had to go to another building and we had to go to two different offices before we could go back to the dentist. Thank goodness the people were nice that helped. To make a long story short I was finally able to get got back to the dentist and we got in.
I normally I stay in my chair when I go to appointments and this time was no different. The checked out my teeth and then I had an impression of my teeth done twice.
that was interesting. I have had two other night guards since i had my stroke. And it was not the most painful experience but I do not do not remember having the first impression done and I was at a place that did almost every thing in house. So it was really easy. For the second We took an elevator and walked a bit. No problem. For my first one they brought it to me the night guard. As far as I know I was still "asleep". But according to my wife I was grinding my teeth really bad. I am probably lucky I had teeth left. It is not as easy to take care of my teeth as it once was.
Now I have an electric toothbrush and it works pretty good. I can't even use a manual toothbrush properly. To make long story short take care of your self and your teeth.
