So I called my eye doc...

As most of you know I had a laser surgery treatment with 99 zaps tweaking of my right eye on Tuesday, due to calcification's, opacity, secondary cataract, after cataract surgery two months ago.
Me being me, and quite impatient and since it is still rather blurry and so I called even though it did say that it could take days to see some improvement. 
At first Melissa in the surgery department did tell me that it could be for as long as a week for my blurriness to clear, and that I should basically hang in there...
So you can well imagine my surprise when she called me back within a very short time with a prescription for eye pressure medicine.
No, I do not have Glaucoma, but this medication is for a build up of pressure in the eye, similar to hypertension, most likely caused by using the very necessary steroid medication to heal the eye, that's all.


It is Alphagan P, which  is another expensive medication, over one hundred bucks without insurance, but for me just $40 with insurance, and this is another tiny bottle of eye drops for twice a day! The same amount of times as the steroids. But I was asked to call them back Monday to let them know how it is working...hopefully great!

Moving on...an update that I forgot to tell:

As far as those unanswered questions for my new neuro go... when I called there before my eye doc appointment Tuesday they said I had so many questions to write them all down and they gave me another in person doctor's appointment to see him next week!

Any-who, a storm is lurking nearby with nasty growling thunderous threatening noises and heavy winds...So I guess once again I will say an early goodnight to all and ask you to kindly count all of your blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
