My good eye isn't that bad after all.

I only have one eye that works and my doctors wanted me to have it checked carefully because Crohn's disease can cause inflammation in the eyes that is not immediately apparent. I have some black spots but they are not that bad so they just want to check them every year at the eye institute by Froedtert. I was actually mildly worried about the preliminary macular degeneration diagnosis that I had received years ago because of this black spot that entered my field of vision on a fairly permanent basis recently.  It may never cause me any further problems. No bad news is definitely good news in this case. I just included the picture because I liked the acronym of BADAS.
