Four months to decide...

Typos maybe rampant is my tonight’s upfront disclaimer and maybe every other night’s too…The only reason I mentioned that is due to my follow-up visit to the eye doc and being re-dilated late this afternoon, this time to see the surgeon who wants to do my YAG as soon as I want it done. Oh YAG, the corrective laser surgery to clear the cloud under my cataract lens. This is the same doctor who did the original cataract surgery back in January of 2010 down in Fort Myers and we went there to get it done that time…although Hubby’s back was not good for days after, it’s a long drive for us, about one hundred miles round trip. I tried to encourage the doctor to have a surgery up here with all the patients they do have in this area. He said probably not for a couple of years. My exam today is good for four months thus my title, and after that time if I cannot see at all because the clouding is that severe I would have to come back in for another exam and it would take just a week to schedule, even now it is also is just a week and he said that he could and would do it… I have considered other doctors in the area that I used to go to, but I would feel a bit disloyal. Today they did install another little item I had been also procrastinating on, tear-duct plugs. Years ago a doctor gave me temps that dissolved within a few days and way back when the next step was cauterization of the ducts and when I was scheduled and went in for the procedure I chickened out, due to the size of the implement coming at me with a very handsome doctor at the other end, about to do the scary deed. Today, that doctor is now a plastic surgeon doing commercials for droopy eyelids and other facial improvements, Dr. Flaherty…This, today surgeon said that, that procedure was archaic and so the permanent plugs were installed within seconds by the tech. I will still have to use drops but not as frequently, my litmus test for dry eye has been zero moisture. Now it probably was much worse, not possible actually, but with three autoimmune ills, the Multiple Sclerosis, Sjogren’s, and my hypothyroidism, which is one too…, who knew. All have a significant affect on the eyes and dry eyes make it all worse. Lefty is still my pride and joy and other than this cloudiness thingy he is a very healthy eye. My dilemma is how long will I be able to go on without making Hubby take me to Ft. Myers and what kind of wife would I be to put him through that pain again? I have a lot of soul searching pertaining to thinking of how to fix this without regretting how to do it. The local doctors that have surgeries here may be the only way to go, since my loyalty is more so to Hubby than the other doctor. I did have a pretty good doctor years ago who does have a surgery connected right to his office, Hubby even went to him and he is in my insurance network. And he is only less than two miles from here. That could be the answer and should be…I will see, yep, wouldn’t that be nice, in more ways than one… Well friends that’s it for tonight, any mistakes are due to my usual inability to edit more than the word program and bad eye and bad shoulders and whatever other excuse that will and can work, allow me with all that baloney to please wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
