Heard from the neurological ophthalmologist's office today with my test results


 They have requested an additional examination of my left eye by their retina specialist next week, Dr. Melvin Chen.
Apparently, lefty didn't fully pass the ERG, only a small problem that needs to be checked is what I was told, and righty this time is normal in the retina department.
Well, that's good, since righty isn't in its optic nerve department.
Who would have thunk that they were so independent with
their diversity of problems, hmm? 
I really thought this whole more testing was just to make sure my pre-diabetes isn't causing eye troubles too; at least that is why I was told to go back to the eye doc this time, and look at the can of worms it all opened up.
Another case of optic neuritis he found with IV steroids over the summer!
Creating the need for more intervention apparently, oh well.

Anticipation of all this is at times a bit overwhelming even with reassurance that nothing that serious is going on, but when I asked for the appointment in the local office instead of  their Venice they said that would be in December at the earliest and so when asked if I could wait until then; the doctor said no and that I should be seen within the month; so okay.

Any-who, my tummy has been misbehaving lately too so Hubby went to pick up already made soup, Progresso, yep not homemade by me! But when you feel like crap, sometimes you have to give in, learning, everyday.

On that note of once again TMI, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages with you know whom and we will too!

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