How did the appointment with the orbit specialist go Gillian?
Well, if you like injections in your eyelid at 9:00am, then it went super! Thanks for asking!
Didn't know I was being set up to go see Dr. Needles-In-Your-Face! I have seen Fire in the Sky and I ain't playin' that stuff is SCARY. I kept both eyes closed the entire time. John held my hand and it even grossed him out! Possible issue: my Supra Orbital Nerve- the nerve around the eye/eyebrow area that is whackadoodle. So he injected some numbing medicine-i.e. stingy liquid- into the area. It was supposed to work within a minute. It didn't really. The effects only lasted an hour, but like I mentioned there were no real effects of the injection.
He referred me to guess what- a neurologist! Back to square one again. I also go back to Dr. Hammy (lens doc) on Monday then on the 13th I go into the new neurologist down at Methodist. The orbit doc says the neuro should be able to scan the area to see why the nerve hurts or if it's something else and give me medicine for the nerve pain. Supra Orbital Neuralgia they call it. I call it Ouchface 2000.
Meanwhile, I have tried my best to stop obsessing about my eye issues. It's ever present for me mentally and that's not good. It's just something I have to live with. There may be no solutions and that in itself is a solution God can make me okay with. Keep on truckin'!

Space. The Final Frontier.
Got a story for ya Ags! WHOOP!
Yesterday, went to see Hsquared otherwise known as the world renowned docs of Baylor Eye Clinic- Dr. Hamill and Dr. Holz in regards to my left eye (old surgeryito). Being that the left eye is now in severe achy breaky pain. Both of the docs saw nothing wrong with it. Which is good news for the lens, cornea, retina, iris, inner-mechanics. Then I told Dr. Hammy what part is killing and found out about a new part (new to me) the orbit. Yes, I know. Awesome because I love space.
Orbit- the eye socket, the eye muscles, the eyeball, the optic nerve and the fat in between. Yo Homeslice, my orbit hurts! I showed Dr. Hammy this part around my eye and he went "Ooooh I see" after pressing on the left "orbital" area and me writhing in pain, he put two and two together. Where in the medical center will I venture to now? Kirby Rd. To see the "brilliant" Dr. Soparkar i.e. the "orbit specialist". This will take place on Monday. Until then, I'm all ibuprofened up since I got this pain that makes me nauseated. I'm talking first trimester with no baby! Not cool! I have no idea where this new jaunt will lead me. I'm really thrown for a loop to be honest. I was thinking more endopthalmitis. None of that thank God, but now what? God has definitely got me on the road to somewhere... My hope is that for anyone that is going through this- you are not alone! I am legend! Just kidding. Come on, you knew that dog was going to die. Anytime a dog is introduced in a movie and is the sole companion and friend- prepare for it to die and you won't be so sad. Come on people! (Hope someone has seen I am Legend or better yet read it.)
I joke about all the opthamalogists I've seen. They keep getting smarter and smarter. I hear this one invented Flubber and he is actually just a brain in a jar that talks by telepathy. Cool. Will give y'all the run down and what we find out!
In the meantime it's off to Oklahoma this weekend for the celebration of my family heritage- The Privettes (mom's side) and their land rushing! Go 89'ers!
