I have been going to doctors for a few months now. A while ago I had this odd thing happen to me. Doctors were torn on what it was. I was concerned that my retinas were detaching. I read you have about 24 hours to get this fixed or you go blind. So I ran to the doctor. He diagnosed it as an ocular migraine. But, wanted me to follow up with a neuro. I forgot the whole thing until 3 weeks ago I got this sinus infection and saw the doc again. The first thing he asked: "you go to the neurologist?" Well, he read me the riot act and off I went. Doctor neuro had me go through a battery of tests. He was convinced it was not an ocular migraine. Rather he said it was a seizure. A stray neuron firing in the rear lobes that do the vision. Or a mini stroke.
So... about $12,000 later in tests he said "Mr A, you had an ocular migraine".
Anyway, today was a glorious day to go to the doctor. The weather here was picture perfect. In the morning I went to the gym and worked out like my good buddy Jimmie the Bum, then after 2 dr visits I spent form 3:00 till 6:00 washing and waxing my car while ceremoniously burning a tony Sopranos (which has improved slightly with age).
Net result, a day off, one hell of a workout from the gym & the car and some quality cigar time outdoors.
