seeing in doubles... or not.

So I had an eye appointment this afternoon to try and help me see a bit better while we wait to find out what's wrong. The doctor, as all doctors I've been seeing have, asked if I was seeing double. I said I didn't think so but maybe I just didn't know what it was. So he did some stuff with some lenses to show me. Well it turns out that because of how my eyes work, I physically cannot see double. However, what my vision did when he tried to make me see double is exactly what my vision has been doing lately. So essentially, I am seeing double but not at the same time. It is the same thing with my eyes that makes me have no depth perception and be unable to see 3D.
This is good and bad at the same time, good cause now I know and bad cause it means the problem is more serious (ie. the brain cyst is actually causing problems). It does mean I'll get into see the specialist sooner though. Which I guess means we can get this process moving along faster to get me all fixed up. At least here's hoping. P.S. I'm terrified about all this.
Anyways, that's today's adventure. And now I'm off to the move. Be back in a few days when I have internet again.
