Double Trouble

No. 1 of me.

Well, actually it’s not trouble, but mama sees double from a thing called binocular diplopia, which was diagnosed some years ago and is checked each year, but the doc says to just wear her special glasses and do exercises, which may or may not help.  It could be nerve damage to a particular nerve or simply weakness in a muscle (come with age–oh, boy, she’s not going to like that at ALL!), but evidently, these funny things she is doing with her eyeballs might actually improve her vision.

I love watching her roll her eyes in big circles, first one way and then the next, and then she has very strange relation with a pen on which there is writing and she puts it in front of her eyes and brings it closer and closer until it’s blurred and then takes it away and starts all over again.  She does this sometimes lying down and so it’s called the Pencil Lift.  Somehow I’m pretty sure she is not developing strong biceps with that one, but it does help to cross ones eyes and strengthen the muscles.  But I’ve seen her cross her eyes without any help at all, especially when papa tells a good joke, whatever that is.  I laugh, too, but mostly don’t get it.

So if anyone out there has any suggestions about seeing two Loulous sometimes when she’s far away from me, better not to suggest them because I sort of like being twins!

your poor Mama! Is it something that will go away? Does it make her dizzy? Can she drive? xoxo

LouLou deaux ? Your Mama has picked a great time to do those exercises – lotsa things to roll one’s eyes in regard to. (Such as the way I wrote that last sentence, ending with a preposition!)

So if you name the second (whichever name you pick), how will your mama know which of you (or the other you) she is seeing at any given time? You could be playing tricks on her like real twins and switching sides. Perhaps your mama could .. You know what? Jan suddenly has a headache at the thought of seeing two of each of us. We need to put her to bed.

MOL Oh LouLou, 2 of you? We’d laff even harder but mommy sees 2 of us sometimes too. But no doctor has ever suggested any exercises fur her. Dat’s pawsum. Mommy says ifin she thought it would help her see better she’d lift pens all day. MOL Big hugs and purrayers fur all.

Luv ya’

Maybe your Mama thinks you’re as beautiful as the rest of us do! And you ARE awfully cute in that picture. The good thing about having a twin is that you can always blame everything on the other guy! You should DEFINITELY come up with a name for your “twin.” 😉
