First real session

    I had meant to write after each session, but I do not foresee that being the case. I was completely wiped out yesterday. My weak eye was so tired that it had drifted far to the outside corner of my eye socket. Usually, it does not drift that far. But fatigue makes the "eye turn" worse, and it was pretty terrible yesterday. I feel like the fact that I was so tired from that session yesterday was proof that work was actually getting done. This time I had to match lights to the letters that were pasted next to them on the star trek contraption. (I'll remember what it's called eventually and start using it's real name) Which, of course, I could not do with my weak eye, because I cannot read with it. I had to walk a straight line, heel to toe, which was difficult in itself. Then walk the line wearing prism lenses (angled lenses that cause your eyes to focus strangely...think drunk goggles). Then again with stronger prisms. I almost fell over quite a few times, and I thought I was going to get sick.
    A revelation struck me this session. My left eye sees fine, except for what I am focused on. Whatever I focus on, my brain doesn't fully comprehend and only wants to use the image supplied by my right eye. I have never had a way to describe it before, but now, through the use of bi-coloured lenses, I have been able to see what my brain tries to shut out the most. This makes me hopeful, because that means that my brain still receives all of the impulses sent by my weak eye and will not have to learn how to turn those impulses on, as with some patients.
