So now they've got me all worried about the possibility of retinal detachment and I worried and worried and worried about it and sort of still am but what's slowly making me feel better is this:

A. If it does happen, I'm gonna know it, and it's gonna be scary, 'cause I'm not gonna be able to see out of my right eye.
B. I'll get to call 911 for the first time ever because guess what: it's a medical freaking emergency.
C. I'll get to ride in an ambulance. surprised
D. Then I'll probably go straight into surgery 'cause omg otherwise I'll be blind in that eye.

But um. Apparently the symptoms would be a lot more extreme if it really was detaching. Curvy lines, increase in floaters... but I don't have any of that. Just. That. Spot.

Maybe they'll tell me it's poor diet, which would make sense. Since my anxiety attacks started I believe I've lost 10 pounds. Hahhhh. gonk

Are you talking about your burst blood vessel?

To my knowledge I do not have a burst blood vessel.

EDIT: Oh snap. I did some looking-up and it seems that this is a clear possibility... people were like, "Sneezing does it, stress does it," Thank you. That wouldn't suck as hard. But I would think that... that would be something that could be seen, right? The doctor said that it didn't look like there was anything out of the ordinary and he obviously dilated my pupil a bit because I he held a light up to it and looked at it until it was a little painful.

Dude. The doctor should have used the dilating eye drops. If they don't they can't see everything. Go to an eye doctor. Even if it's the one at Wal-Mart. They have the equipment to see your retina and what's wrong with it.

Hrrn.

I would almost think that if my retina was going to detach it would've done so already. A month? That's kinda long. These things usually happen and happen quickly, don't they?

Also worth noting is that after the anxiety and stress started, I started seeing the spot.

But anyway, yeah, I was like, "Mom, if we don't go somewhere today I'm gonna panic myself to death."
