Ears & Eyes

Two summers ago, I went for nearly 3 months where every sound was muffled. I felt like I was wearing really thick ear muffs, and when people tried to talk to me, I just felt totally stupid because I couldn’t hear them. Last summer, I lost a good part of my vision for a while. It was so bad that I was driving home with my son and I looked up at the sky and marveled about how a particular cloud was exactly the shape of a blimp. It was perfectly shaped. My 9 year old scanned the sky and said, “I don’t see a cloud shaped like a blimp anywhere….but I do see a blimp over there”. Yeah–totally stupid!! Anyway, I headed to the Ophthalmologist and found out that I had Uveitis in both eyes, which apparently showed that I had an underlying auto immune disorder….Yay Me!!!

I was thinking of that experience this morning as I was washing and moisturizing my face. At my age, it’s probably time to look into prevera or other eye creams….there are probably some crows feet starting–but you know—I’m a little skittish of putting anything near my eyes.
