My eye

Then David in mid conversation suggested that I shut my left eye and look "over here" with the right. Strangely enough my right eye looked properly forward if I did this so obviously some of the musculature still works, it's just the controlling circuit that doesn't function properly

Hello

There was a knock on my door today, I opened it and say my brother who had come over from Belfast to visit. That was a surprise, but a pleasant one.

We went out for a drive around and saw some beautiful views etc

Carmarthen

And I had a session with Jackie to finish off filling in my 'free bus pass' form which Jackie then posted so hopefully.....

Nag

And I had a session with Carol Underdown, my 'boss' and Jackie together. They both said "You need to do 'this' to continue getting better" etc. So I partly resent any help and I am partly lazy but they might be right, laziness is not the way to get better from here

Eye Doctor

So I had to get up really early to get to Swansea to catch up with the doctor who operated on my eyes 18 months ago. First of all he was really pleased with my left eye, he said that he had never done an operation that was so successful before. With respect to me right eye it had been 100 units out of line, it is now just 20. So much better but not good enough. He said that operations on it are not part of the equation after the other operation but he thinks that perhaps an injection of poison into one side may give the other side a chance to work. He said that turning my eyes may cause double vision but it is still a better option IMO, learn to turn my head instead of moving my eyes. Now he is gonna send me an appointment for the injection
