#phosphene

My friends had a senior art show and while they did that, I sat in a corner w a kid and doodles so here are my doodles-

MR.FRIVOLOUS:

    I scrolled through the comments and someone said that this “grid” is a phosphene, which is “a ring or spot of light produced by pressure on the eyeball or direct stimulation of the visual system other than by light”. I literally experienced this grid pattern when I injured my hand on a beach once. I was holding a very heavy rock that had a fossil in it. I was intending on cracking it open but never got the chance. The tide was coming in and my dad called out to me that I needed to get back to the carpark. The rocky beach was wet and I slipped sideways slowly, so I had to catch myself with the back of my left hand and the heavy rock pressed the top of my hand against another rock. What I think happened is that I pinched the nerve between my middle and ring finger knuckles. Was this ulnar nerve entrapment? I don’t know. I kept flexing my hand because it felt funny, almost sore but not. When my dad met me and we kept walking up the beach I felt lightheaded and he had to hold me up so I didn’t fall over. I felt nauseous and my vision went weird. Things sort of went totally white and then I saw row and rows of orange dots - a grid. 

    I looked it up tonight and found this.
