Other Plans

Skipped gym yesterday as I'm deep in photo show hell... also had a glaucoma doc appt. The pressures are okay, but of course, doc wants the left eye lower. IOPs are right eye 12 and left eye 14, which is great for people who don't have cupped optic nerves, but all the specialists want pressures down to 10 or even 8... I have a new Visual Field exam scheduled for the end of August as now I have to do these twice a year because they are of two different varieties: a 10 and a 30, meaning the range of the field test. Most glaucoma hits the peripheral vision. Tests show the damage creeping closer to the center of my visual field. Ugh... but my last tests in February showed unexpected regression or stability. As in you're not suppose to regain your sight, but this test was a lot better than the past few years. Weird.

There is an informative web site that discusses visual field testing in-depth. Click here for the link. At some point I will have to take my son for glaucoma testing because this is an inheritable disease.

My son is still asleep. Camp yesterday tuckered him out. I had planned to take him to the gym but I need to get more photo work done, and I'm definitely dragging him to work out tomorrow. Today he can sleep in, and we plan to see... Captain Underpants. Hmmm. Not my first choice, but I read him the list of what's playing and he has no interest in the new Transformers movie, and he's outgrown the Cars franchise. But the trailer to Captain Underpants was downright silly, so....
