Vision Issues

I can't believe how busy I am right now. It makes my head spin!!! LITERALLY!!! I was driving my Grandma to the bus depot in downtown Calgary this afternoon and I suddenly realized that I was seeing spots and had missing parts of my vision.... while I was driving!!! I thought it might be that I was temporarily "blinded" by a bright flash of sunlight glinting off of someone's window or something. However, even when we were inside the depot, I still felt a little "woozie" and couldn't focus on anything properly. It was that weird feeling that you get if you cross your eyes too long and/or stand up too fast! LOL Anyway, I remembered my optometrist telling me that if I ever experience these symptoms to see her IMMEDIATELY because it can be a sign of a detached retina... not totally uncommon in people with high prescriptions as myself. SOOOOO..... guess where I spent the afternoon!!! Instead of getting a relaxing physiotherapy treatment (which, by the way, I was REALLY looking forward to) I had to hang out at the optometrist's office waiting for my pupils to dilate to the size of dinner plates and have bright lights glaring into my eyeballs!!! NOT the most pleasant experience on the planet, let me assure you. The good news is.... drum roll please.... I do NOT have a detached retina. The bad news is, we don't really know WHY this happened. Dr. thinks it was the beginning of a migraine but here I am several hours later and I don't have a migraine. Also, the Dr. wants to do more tests because she found something else wrong with my eyes!! Oh brother..... and you wonder why I'm a hypochondriac!!!!!?????
