This week sent me in a tailspin and shook me a little, if I’m honest. What I thought would just be a routine eye exam on Monday turned into a diagnosis and a referral. Long story short, my optometrist diagnosed me with swollen optic nerves(both eyes). At this point, the cause is uncertian. That was Monday. I remember going to work, but my mind was just processing and absorbing. My greatest fear in the moment was, “what if I lose my sight?” I wasn’t mentally prepared and felt blindsided.
The worst part was knowing I’d have to come back on Thursday for more tests. I came in before work and the optometrist reviewed my results with me. (I’m so glad I brought my mom into the room with me for moral support! She’s my rock. ) He wrote me a referral to see a Neuro-Opthamologist. My mind still longs for answers, but I know I have to wait. For now, I’ve started the ball rolling with the referral process.
My greatest request I currently have is prayer. I believe that prayer has great power. I know God can heal in more ways than one and also believe that God already knows the full diagnosis. Even when my emotions are struggling,I know deep down that God is good and that this journey is only part of my story. I’ll try and update this blog here!
