So I went into Subway yesterday to pick up a sandwich. I had one of those afterimages in my eyes, like when you stare at a light and then you still see it on your eyelids. Only this image didn’t go away. It was like a vertical line going down each eye, and each line was a multicolored star pattern.

I took the sandwich to eat at Mom’s and the lines still didn’t go away. It was a half hour later and I was freaking out at that point, wondering if I should try to get into the optometrist or something. Really, having my ears and eyes have problems all within one month is a little crazy. Like, please, no more existential crisis for a while.

The lines eventually went away but left blurry spots behind. So I had two lines that blurred everything behind it. I typed out a text message to the wife about what was going on, in a mild panic. It’s a good thing for autocorrect, or I would not have been able to type legible sentences.

Eventually the blurriness went away but there was still something wrong. I could barely read anything, like the letters were jumping around. And I had no depth perception.

About 40 minutes later everything was ok. But I’m still kinda in fear about this happening again, seemingly at random. I don’t know if I was having a migraine or small stroke or what.

It sucks to try to come up with a regular blog post when there’s these issues in my life. Like, I don’t want to type them out and commit them to posterity, but on the other hand I may need to look back and see exactly when all this stuff happened.

I feel fine right now and am loving life, very grateful for the health I do have. And very, very grateful that my family is healthy. Maybe that’s the purpose behind all of this nonsense.
