Busy week this week with doctor appoints and hospital related pre-op registration, blood tests, urine tests, genetic cancer screening (tele-health) and so many SATs.
It was time to see Dr Song at Mass Eye And Ear, Waltham. Not a fan of early morning appointments, but it was a reschedule so I had to take what was available. So, I joined the ranks of morning commuters on the highways today. I do not miss the commute. People are so aggressive and have no driving manners. But I gave myseld an hour and I arrived with some time to spare.
I checked in, sat and waited to be called. At about 10:00 (the appointment was at 9:30), I heard someone call Richard. The guy next to me stood up. Wow, two Richards next to one another. Luckily, I had the correct birth date, but he wasn't happy. I guess he was there before me and his body language spoke volumes.
Generally I see a number of medical professionals who administer various tests. The first one took just a few minutes and I was told to go back to the waiting room. About 5 mins. later, I hear "Richard". This time he spoke up and said which one? Lucky me, I had the winning birth date. Once again, he was visually pouting. I was given an eye test and finally some dilating drops and was sent back to the waiting room. By this time the other Richard was snoring. I chuckled to myself. As my eyes began to be affected by the bright lights he was finally called in. I guess he wasn't happy to be disturbed at this point so he walked heavily to his exam room. [Wonder how his driving habits are?]
I was finally called into see Dr Song at 11:30. The doctor said everything looked good. The eye pressure was 17 in both eyes. I take daily drops to reduce the pressure in my right eye. So the pressure was reduced form a reading of 33 previously. Good news. But..... the capsule on my left eye was beginning to get cloudy. I was told of the possibility of this happening prior to my last laser surgery and lens implant. According to the doctor, the same thing happened on my other eye and I had the follow-up surgery to correct. [I honestly don't recall that. So it was so minor or it didn't happen. I'll have to review my postings. But it doesn't matter at this point.]
I'm scheduled for a YAG capsulotomy left eye on February 6th, 2023 at Surgisite, in Waltham. I have a post op follow up on 2/17/23 8AM (yuck)
More to come!
