Today was the Beast's appointment with the new eye doctor. Originally it was for what he felt was a film that was developing over his eye. Since he had cataract surgery a couple years ago, that meant the lens that was placed over his iris had to be calcifying or some such thing. That scared him.
Turns out he does have a film (not calcium) that is forming on the lenses in both eyes. The doctor can remove the one on the left eye but the right eye has a couple other problems. First of all, he is suffering from macular degeneration or some such thing. The Beast has no clue really if that's what it is or not. He just remembers it's some kind of degenerative problem. Second, the doctor thinks he has a cancer just to the outside of the eye itself. The doctor won't touch the eye until the Beast sees a retina specialist and is told it's safe. I found out the Beast has been suffering from floaters in his eye that is in a kind of *sheet*. The eye doctor told him that cleaning up the lens in that eye won't solve that problem but I told the Beast that the retina doctor will be able to tell him more after he does a few tests. Been there.......
Since I may have to have eye surgery by the retinal specialist that I have been seeing, I'm well aware of what could be happening to him. Especially due to his high blood pressure. But only time will tell. The eye doctor's office is making an appointment for him and will call him once it's made. Stay tuned for further developments.
It's been a few days since I spoke with my gf, Carol, and I sure miss talking with her. I tried to find out if she was feeling okay but I guess she's been worried about her oldest son, the one that lives in Hawaii, because he's been very ill. From her email to me, I can't blame her for that. It's a wonder she has time to even think about me....LOL. I am just saying a few prayers for her son so that her life can return to some semblance of normal.
The temperatures are dropping now.....again. I had to kick up the heat in my computer room. High and low temps for the next few days won't vary by more than 8-9 degrees. Brrr! I made sure all my warm jammies were washed, folded and put away. There's nothing I hate worse than feeling cold.
Love you all. Be good, stay warm, dry and drive carefully. ***Hugs***
