Clear Vision
Veronica didn’t think that she would be able to wear contacts after the surgery. When we talked about it, I agreed that it wasn’t worth the hassle of bringing them. Neither of us realized the folly of this at the time. Her vestibular exercises have been limited by her lack of clear vision. My first solution was to take the right temple off of her “cheap” glasses. The lenses in those glasses are terrible and it was a no go. They actually caused double vision, which is a side effect that the doctors want to know about. Next, I took the right temple off of her usual frames. She has been wearing them like this for two days. It is really annoying and the spring on the left side keeps the glasses in a bad place.
Veronica asked me to call around to the local optical stores. I called a couple of stores that are close to the house. I didn’t have much luck. Most of them couldn’t do anything until Tuesday. I called a Target Optical store south of La Jolla, they said they didn’t have anything in stock that would help us, but they thought the other two SD Target Optical locations might be able to help. I called the location in Santee, CA. Dr. Kelly Keane was very kind and helped us out. Veronica is all set with contacts now. Hopefully, we can make progress on the dizziness.
Veronica has been regularly walking around the house, doing her exercises and drinking lots of fluids. The pain is up, but she is determined. We continue to be grateful for the love, prayers, and support.
