Kat are you woooooing for travel arrival?

I have put off making pies. Now I fear it may be too late. Darn me and my need to catch up on the DVR. I guess I could make the crusts tonight.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Pleh!

My body aches terribly. Even laying down is painfull. The only times my body has ached this much before was when I had a nasty flu, but I'm pretty sure I'm flu-free. And I'm incredibly fatigued. Som'fin ain't right....

OK.

Tommy, what did the eye doctor say?

She didn't think the blockage was that bad, and that inflamation was the cause of the blurriness. They took a bunch of pictures of my eyes with a computer, then injected a dye into my bloodstream (that made everything look bright pink!) and took more pictures. She said that blood appears to be flowing normally, which is good.

So there's still the issue of what is causing the inflamation. She thought I should get an MRI right away, so that's gonna happen Sat morning (7:00!). She said there's a chance there could be a tumor behind the eye that's putting pressure on the back of the eye, or some other thing (I forget) that the MRI would catch. If it's either of those, it's still early enough that the problem can be treated. But she doesn't think it's anything like that - the MRI is just to "rule stuff out."

After I get the MRI results, she'll talk to me about my prognosis. But things are looking better (I think). (But not literally "looking better," except I have fewer floaters than last week.)

Thanks for asking.

Ack, Tommy. I hope she can figure this out. It's a dreary way to spend a holiday weekend, though. I'll be thinking about you.

Thanks.

Anyway, if I understood her correctly, the chance of my vision improving is a lot better than the other ophthalmologists thought.

Damn, so now I've seen three ophthalmologists (including a retina specialist), an optomotrist and a regular doctor. Also, a dentist, but that's unrelated. I think.
