Well the hits just keep coming. I've held off on mentioning this until more tests were done and I found out for sure, but when I went in to see my optometrist a while back (I think it was in November), the regular tests raised some eyebrows, so I was summoned in for some follow up testing, which lead to a "better safe than sorry" treatment. After maintaining the treatment and a couple more check ups, it has been determined that I have Glaucoma. Fortunately, my testing was all borderline, but they did several different tests and my eye doc said that the fact that all of the tests came up borderline had her convinced that treatment needed to be started. I agreed. The good news is the eye drops I've been prescribed are working.

In light of that, and the fact that I've had a few family members get diagnosed with it, I decided to go to my primary care doc and have some blood work and such done to check for certain issues, namely diabetes. My mom and brother both have diabetes, so I was pretty worried. Luckily my test results came in and it's a negative on the 'betes, but I do have high blood pressure. This could explain a number of things, however the doc also asked me some other questions and he believes that I'm suffering from depression. My response was "Hey, doc, have you seen what 2020 brought in? No fucking shit I have depression!" So he wants to see about starting me up on meds. Aggravating, but not surprising.

So yeah I'm working on keeping on top of my health for now.
