Okay, so, it seems I get to have an eye exam every few months for the forseeable future, but my prognosis looks fairly good. I dont have a definate answer yet on which disorder I have, but things still point strongly to Coat’s.
He also looked at the mass under my right eye, and say it seems to be a lipid deposit, but surgery is probably more trouble than its worth, considering masses like this can be HUGE and deep. So its just a wait and see on that front also.
So, a day of stress and eye dialates, and having things poked in my eyeballs, all to be told to wait and see. I know what to look for, just in case my eyes worsen, but the chances of that are luckily kinda low.
On the Being Healthy front, I have probably dropped a pants size, I dont know for sure because my pants were already a bit loose. But the coat Mum got me for Xmas, that barely fit, I couldnt zip it over my bum 2 weeks ago, now zips up, and has some room.
That pleases me a lot, since it means that the work I am doing IS paying off.

So I learned something from my doctor when we saw her earlier this week.
My overall lifestyle is shitty.
Like REALLY shitty.
So, in the hopes of fixing some of my problems, I am working towards small goals to overall my life better.
I hope.
First on that list,
My caffeine intake. Holy crap we drink a lot of caffeine. So that is cut down to ONE average sized glass of dr pepper a DAY around lunch time.
4 small meals a day, and NO SNACKING. Which is going to be really hard for me because I LOVE to snack.
Being more active. To help with that Jelly Bean got us a Wii Fit, well, it was money my mom sent us for a holiday gift. I have so far spent nearly 2 hours using it. My bare minimum for use is 30mins a day, but it would be better to get an hour in. And since all of us are doing it, I feel the competive urge to beat Jelly Bean’s high scores, which is actually fairly hard for me to do.
So hopefully everything I am doing will help me out.
The big change I am hoping to see is just my overall view of life. I dont expect to shed a shitton of weight, and I will probably always have depression and insomnia issues, but maybe these changes will make it less suck-ful.
