Myopic vision.....NOT the diagnosis at the ophthalmologist's office..... but what happens as we struggle through our day.
When I cycle into the tougher times, (was dx'd over 30 years ago and have gone in and out of "good" and "bad" times) I find my "vision" deteriorates, I see less, seeing ONLY what is important to get me through the day. When this happens, it is subtle, a slow progression, so unfortunately I am not aware of this even happening.
For example, on my front door I have a wreath, it is artificial, the base is pine, with golden flowers.... and at Easter time, I felt "on target" "on board" and "up to date" with my timely wreath. It was very Springy.... I was comfortable with my door's profile..... The door through which my son and his family pass, friends, and yes delivery folks etc .....sported a Spring wreath. Things cannot be too bad, right?
Let's back up in time a little..... actually I cannot remember when I started to decline, probably summer or Fall of 09 and lasting through the summer 2010. Energy..no where to be found...brainfog big time, you all know. It was late summer this year when I realized the wreath on my front door........was my Christmas wreath.
It's one thing to KNOW you have a Christmas wreath on the door and NOT feel a need to change it.... but I thought the flowers were spring/summer blossoms.
Right now, I am feeling a wee bit better, my mind is working a wee bit better and I am now realizing... I missed a lt over the past year.
The door is simply one example of my myopic vision, the lack of vision carries me through the day....seeing only the bare necessities......that which I need to see to exist.
Hummmmm, may be this is NOT a bad thing????
