A bit of news, but mostly chatter
Chapter Seven of the research book keeps changing, but is, I think, nearly done.
My right eye also keeps changing, but is not nearly done. I can see more colour, which is a bit miraculous, and the right eye now tracks alongside the other eye and lets me know smugly that it was quite capable of this all the time and was just annoying me earlier, because it chose to focus on its inward vision rather than the outside world.
The rapid changes in vision make me dizzy, alas, and the Eye Clinic's solution of a special patch was easier said than done. When I can get it, I'll get it, and until then I'll continue to limit my activity. I can deal with the dizziness and the need to avoid crossing roads alone or handling sharp objects (also only putting out rubbish when I must, for it involves walking through car parks, and the cars come from the right and I can't see them coming!), because the change was significant today. Every bit that improves, I am more likely to get complete vision back without an operation and its accompanying problems. It's a big breakthrough to be able to use both my eyes, however. It means I see funny things in my whole vision and they fade as I glance left: this is a lot better than the glare of the previous month!
Also, today, for the first time since this happened, my vision has not given me a severe headache (I am a painkiller free zone!). I am listening to music as a natural consequence. I started with Piaf but have somehow migrated to 17th century music. Somewhere not very deep in me my novel wants me to return to that research.
Also, if the vision keeps improving apace, I'll have my editing-level vision back and will be able to do a bit of paid editing and to catch up on emails.
