Schrodinger's Lent

[julesjones]

I decided to be boring and give up unnecessary snack foods for Lent, as much for the benefit of my waistline as my soul. The "unnecessary" is there because I actually do have the occasional medicinal use for biscuits, crisps and ginger beer, i.e. treating migraine nausea.

It's only Ash Wednesday and I have already had to invoke the medical exemption, courtesy of some eye tests this afternoon. I think I shall go and find something not back-lit to look at for the rest of the evening.

I hope you're feeling better ;o)

Definitely better this afternoon with the completion of the assorted tests, and the news that whatever is going on with my eyesight, it is definitely not any of assorted unpleasant possibilities, and almost certainly just some weird form of visual migraine. Migraine is *ever* so much better than the possibility of a slow-motion detached retina...

Very true. The doctor calls mine 'abortive' migrains, in that I get all the weird visual symptoms...but never get the headache.
