Jeeze, everything seems to happen at once.

Today around 4 in the afternoon I was using the computer downstairs and just couldn't read anything. Its kind of dark down there, so I quit the computer and turned on the big screen TV. It didn't seem that clear either. I mean I could make things out and everything, but there was something not quite right. I made my way upstairs where things are much brighter. It is a beautiful bright, warm summer day and the sunlight and warmth are pouring in.

In thew brighter light I could see that through my right eye there was a clear, shimmering, semicircle thick band of distortion. It is hard to describe its size, but while looking at a 20” lcd monitor about 1.5 ~ 2 feet away, it would appear to be about 4” ~6” in width and form half a ring through half my field of vision. Interestingly, the centre of the ring, crescent really, was fine. Only the band of the ring was distorted and shimmering. It was really quite amazing, and frightening.

I blinked and squinted to get rid of it, but of course I couldn't. Irene came home from work and noticed me blinking and squinting and asked what was wrong. I didn't want to alarm her so said nothing and did my best to stop squinting and blinking.

Now shuffling around is going to be an even greater challenge. I seem to get my balance through my sight so that is going to become an issue. And I am going to need to be doubly careful about throw rugs, water on tiles, and things on the floor. This is just so weird.
