Yesterday was my 1 month post operation appointment… at six weeks. Apparently, the inability to correctly count is a statewide phenomena in Alabama that continues to spread. But I digress… I was a little fearful going into this visit because things have been so “off” and that I have continued to have headaches every morning since surgery. The last several surgeries the headaches have gone away by the middle of week two. This time they’ve stuck around like an old, unwanted house guest.
This meeting with the doctor started off no different then any of the others. They checked my vision and depth perception before I got to see her. I complained of the headaches and made mention of their similarity to those I experienced over twenty years ago while undergoing eye therapy. She examined my eyes and informed me that they are now nearly perfectly aligned. It’s the best they have ever been. She seemed extremely pleased with how this last surgery went.
She didn’t have an immediate answer for the headaches, but had several hypothesis about what is going on:
1. The headaches are vascular in nature (Migraines)
I don’t think this is likely, but a possibility. Headaches only really flared up after surgery.
2. My brain is trying to fuse the picture, but currently unable to.
The doctor’s reasoning behind this is the fact that my eyes are pretty much aligned for the first time in my life. However, one eye is ever so slightly off. The headaches may be coming from the fact that I’m unconsciously or involuntarily trying to correct the position of one eye to help achieve fused vision. This would explain the exhaustion and headaches every morning. My mind/eyes are working over time trying to do something they have never done. It is my hope that this is what is going on inside my head. The real question is how do you tell yourself to do something it has never done in thirty-two plus years?
3. Aliens from Persei Omicron 8 have implanted something in my brain.
This seems unlikely and sounds like something I made up to have an option three. Yep. Definitely something I made up… In reality, it might be something else. However, I’m only presenting you with two realistic options.
Hopefully I will have some answers in the next month or so. I’m tired of waking up feeling like pre-Iron Man Robert Downing Jr. every morning. In the back of my head the words “patient time” are still being whispered…
