Well the eye seems to be settling down, pretty much off the painkillers except at night to ensure that I get a good nights sleep.
However now the general has worn off I am now certain that I have almost continual motion sickness – due to the fact that the eye is now pointing in a different direction by approximately forty degrees. The continual mild headache and nausea is somewhat annoying. Still at least I can be sure that I won’t get any fatter.
Anyhow the orthoptist had a good look round today and seems happy with how things are going, the motion sickness should settle down over the next few weeks. In the meantime no vigorous exercise i.e. football, rugby or swimming – I decided not to ask about the obvious.
So at moment I have another week off work to let things settle down and see how things go with instructions from my GP (who I saw this morning) to come back in a week if I still feel nausea.

Oh, my sympathy on the motion sickness – hope that passes quickly!

I have to imagine what you are experiencing is many times the misery I feel when my contact lens prescription gets updated…that “I may be slightly off kilter” feel. I do hope that goes away soon.

Motion sickness sounds like an icky byproduct, hopefully it’ll go away as your eye adjusts to the new positioning. And why is it in a new position? Shouldn’t that even out?
Bulemia is not the answer, btw, to keeping that boyish figure.
