Kaleidoscope Vision

This morning while we were all enjoying our coffee down at the cafe, Harrison Hendership mentioned that Mable Smoother had added a new kaleidoscope to her collection. Mable has a room, a pretty good size room, devoted to storing and displaying her kaleidoscopes. All you got to do to take a peek is knock on her front door and if she is at home you can come in and look all you want. Horace Hawkster spoke out that he was diagnosed by a doctor as having what they call kaleidoscope vision. I don't ever take things as true without looking it up so I headed to the library and found out there is such a thing. They call it an ophthalmic migraine and it usually goes away in twenty or thirty minutes. They say you need to get checked out by a doctor to see if there are any other problems, but most times it will not hurt you. Anyway Horace knew what he was talking about. He said since the doctor told him he would be okay now he just sits back and enjoys it. I don't think I could do that.

  1. It's called a scintillating scotoma, and if a headache follows
    ,then it is "classic migraine"
