Who knew?

We are bathed and ready to head to bed!  But Mama needed a picture for the post tonight--so here you go!  I've had to wear my glasses today waaaaaay more than I usually do.  I wasn't sure, but I thought the opthamologist's appointment might involve a little dialating of the pupils, so I brought them along.  Glad I did.  It was hard enough driving home with my sunglasses shoved on top of these.  Doing it without glasses would have been impossible.  I can't find my way to my car in the garage if I don't have my contacts or glasses.

The prognosis, you ask?  Not exciting at all.  Occular migraine.  Who knew?  If I had a headache thrown in it would have been a plain ol' migraine.  As I described what I have taken to calling "the event" she kept smiling and nodding her head...so I figured it wasn't fatal right away.  A textbook description of an occular migraine apparently.  Right down to the graph of Depression-era unemployment.  I believe her words were, "Congratulations.  You've had your first migraine."  Which indicates to me the distinct possibility of more of these "events" in my future.  I'm going to add a moderate case of the vapors and take the day off school next time.
