Wednesday, my optometrist gave me the news that I may have to another eye surgery. This doesn't make me happy at all, especially since I can see so well now. That wasn't how I wanted the check-up to go.
He discovered a place in my right eye that may indicate my retina in that eye is now trying to detach. It isn't yet, and he can't see any tears or holes, but something doesn't look right. It's obvious in the scan. He says it may be nothing, but it wasn't there the last time he saw me and he thinks it needs to be looked at by a specialist. He says, "It may be a wild goose chase, but..."
So, next Wednesday I go to the retina specialist again. This is the guy who doesn't take my insurance, so we'll see how that goes, or if he'll even agree to see me.
I actually have one medical bill that is only 3 payments from being paid off, so it makes sense that I'll accrue some more before that happens.
Our bodies seem to be like cars. The older it gets, the more things go wrong, and as soon as you get one thing fixed something else needs to be worked on.
ReplyDeleteSeems that way. I want my telomeres back (even if they don't have anything to do with that, specifically).
