"Brain scan is normal for a woman of her age". Now what precisely is that supposed to mean? "Going a bit gaga, but what do you expect?" ??? Actually, that's probably fair enough. You're not supposed to come over all tearful when they tell you your brain scan is clear and there's nothing neurologically wrong with you. You're supposed to be relieved. Personally, I'd never really believed that there was anything like a tumour as I was sure there'd be other symptoms, so it didn't come as a surprise, just a disappointment that it means they don't have an answer as to why I can't see properly. It makes me feel a fraud, and yet the vision problems are all too real 90% of the time. Today included. Now it's back to the waiting game as I'm being referred to the eye specialist. Wish it were something where I could go back to work in the meantime! Goodness knows how long this will go on. But a sudden brainwave sent me to make an appointment at the optician - even if glasses only improve my sight a little and become obsolete once I've seen the specialist, if £25 will buy me the ability to read and write and see just a little more easily it'll be money well spent.
