“Dancing Eyes”

My Mom has always told me that when I was born, she excitedly made the observation to my Dad and told him that I had, “Dancing Eyes,” People in my life have told me that I still have, “Dancing Eyes” when I smile broadly.

I did a couple of Google searches today and here are the results I found:

So I guess I still have these, “Dancing Eyes” but these “Dancing Eyes” are NOT good. This symptom of MS only come about recently now that I’ve had MS for over half of my life.

This symptom has been new to me in the past two years I’d say. I ordered something on Amazon a few days ago to counteract this specifically when I watch movies at the movie theater or if I am watching basketball or some other fast action afilm in my house. I was by myself in my house when my doorbell rang and I heard something put in between the storm the door and the front door. I knew it was a package and it made me a bit sad because I knew what it was.

When Sean came home from his haircut, he brought the envelope in and asked me what it was kind of excitedly. I was not excited and I told him he could open it and this is what it was:

That’s right, it’s an eyepatch. As much as it saddens me that it has come to this, I need to try to be able to focus and covering one eye, my “poop eye,” will definitely make that easier. I took a long time when ordering this and I read all about it and cried. It’s supposedly supposed to be comfortable.

I don’t plan on wearing it all the time but I have found that I tend to get dizzy in movie theaters and I squint my right eye closed to counteract that.

I wore it today while watching, The Quiet Man with Sean because I was excited that he finally agreed to watch it with me and it was truly comfortable and it did help with my, “Dancing Eyes.”
