Well yesterday was a real pain, I had to stay at my mums in Derby, so we could get a taxi at 7am to get a bus to QMC hospital for a 8.45am appointment, and this one i wasnt allowed to drive, because of the drops they put in my eyes to get a good look at the back. Well Monday night my hubby and I decided to buy the kids a new slide for the garden it cost £180, people said we are mad for doing it, but as we say our kids are not into tv and computers etc, they mostly love to run around and play out side, so we spent no more than someone else would on a computer or game console. Only this slide took us 3 hours to put up lol, hubby kept saying its the biggest Mocarno set ever. Well back to yesterday, i saw my eye doc at 8.45am and i managed to leave hospital at 2pm, and all this time i was sent from place to place for 9 differant tests, photos of eyes, test pressure of eyes etc, they put yellow drops in your eyes to numb them then they tap then to measure the prossure, then add drops to dilate the pupils so they can look at the back of the eye, take pictures etc, I also had to see someone about the double vision as its getting worse even with the prisms in my glasses, My eye doc said double vision is not related to IIH, it is because my eyes are lazy, Well i beg to differ. Also i was told i had lost some vision in my right eye since Jan 2011, After all those tests etc i feel so drained today, my head is banging, my neck and shoulder hurt, all to be re done tomorrow as im back at hospital to see my neuro for a LP. I really dont want a LP as last one i had 9 days of horrid pain becuse of the low pressure, i have no idea what else he will say about my eyes etc, fingers crossed for tomorrow, Oh i weighed my self this morning and im currently 13.13st, but i havent really had any energy to do any excersise today.
