Eyes
So my eye appointment on Tuesday did not go as well as I expected. I do not have a little retinal bleed that will go away on its own. At the office I got to do some eye tests I didn't know about. I got pictures of my eyeballs taken. That is quite trippy. Colors are wrong after that for a bit. Light is pink. Interesting. Anyway I have a form of macular degeneration in that eye. Yeehaw for me. There are two treatment options. One is a form of laser surgery which if successful would keep my eye right where it is. The other form is medication in the eyeball. And that requires a thin little needle (or so the doc says). If that is successful I may get some of the sight back in that circle of blurriness. And then he tells me he would like to do that as soon as possible like xmas eve day. Nope. Don't think so. Need time to think about that. So I have an appt. on Friday for my little shot in the eye. Everything I have read says up to three shots in the eye. Can you tell I am just so excited about that prospect? I am not liking all the things that are happening to me since I hit the 40's.
