What I'm doing, when I'm doing it, and who I'm doing it with.

Okay so I have decided that I am going to look into trading in my current run down, always breaking body and see if I can get a new one. The two latest incidents have involved my eyes and my wrist.
First the eyes, about 3 weeks ago on a Sunday I got out of bed and was checking some sites on the computer when I got a big spot before my eyes, like I had looked into the sun or a bright light. The problem became when the spot didn't go away. It took a couple of hours but eventually it disappeared but left me with a strong dislike of anything bright. That included the TV so I spent the rest of the day listening to football. When it was hard to look at the computer screen at work on Monday I thought I better go to the eye doctor. I made an appointment for that evening and went to see Dr. Louis (real name is Dr Lewis blanchette but I prefer Dr Louis) I had my eyes dilated, and he examined them closely with a very bright light,didn't I tell him that hurt :( Anyway, Dr. Louis' diagnosis was that I had a migraine ??? Okay I guess we will go with that, he is having me come back in a month (next week now) to make sure that is all it was.
Now my wrist. I have had problems with my wrist on and off for years now so I assume it will go away soon. I have never really had a doctor diagnose what is wrong with my wrist because the pain eventually goes away. I started off this time thinking it was carpal tunnel, my supervisor here at work has it so he set my work station up better and was giving me some exercises. Well I then decided to search the net to see what I could find. I didn't find much but I do know I don't have carpal tunnel. That effects the thumb and first finger as well as the wrist and my pain effect my wrist, pinky and ring finger as well as the base of my arm. I think I will call Dr. Murphy this week to see if I can get a better diagnosis.
Okay enough about the problems I have eight and a half more weeks and I go home for Christmas. WooHoo.
Until later,
Tricia
