My eye problems that I told
you about in a previous rant continue.
I went to the retinologist
on Friday, and quite frankly, I thought I was going to get a clean bill of
health. My left eye--my troubled eye--had given me no problems since my surgery
of a month earlier. I drove back and forth to Florida--more than 1,100 miles
each way--and didn't have the least bit of a problem.
Thus, I went into the
doctor's office on Friday morning fully expecting nothing to happen.
I was amazed when I was
told that I would have to get another shot in my eye, the second one in what I
now foresee as a long process to permanently remove whatever is in my eye.
I also had to take the day
off from work, which I found a bit unsettling because I just got back from
vacation and was just getting my feet wet again, so to speak, at my place of
business.
I must say that I was
pretty depressed about the whole thing on Friday. I have another appointment in
early August, and I guess I have become pretty ambivalent about it. I know
these processes are to save the sight in my eye, I just thought that I was so
much better that this was something I didn't have to worry about anymore.
How wrong I was!
The next time, the
retinologist said that they were going to do another procedure to highlight the
eye so further pictures could be taken to see how my eye was responding to this
treatment. They will probably have to dilate my eye again, which means I will
once again not be able to do much that day (it took until early afternoon this
time for the eye solution to wear off).
Again, I have nothing but
praise for the retinologist, who certainly knows what he is doing. I am just so
frustrated with this whole episode, and would love to put it behind me.
I guess it is just going to
take time, and I have to get used to this.
