My Eye Measurements Today.

 

The Good News is four fold 

1.  I now know the route to Eye Associates in Bradenton. A forty or so minutes drive.

2.  The Eye measurements procedure went well.   But oh how hard it is to be told "don't blink".  We blink without thinking.

3. The burst blood vessel in my left eye did not impair the measuring. 

I thought that I'd caused the problem by being clumsy with the eye drop "spout" .  The Technician was dubious.  She told me that such bursts can be caused by e.g.:  a coughing fit; lifting a heavy object; a strained bowel movement  (she said it not I!).  She added that she had such an ocular blood vessel as a bye product of hard labour in child birth.

I'll opt for the coughing fit!

4.   The surgeries will be by Dr. Foster, but in Sarasota, not Bradenton.  The logistics will be simpler,

The Bad News is that

Surgery #1 (left eye) will not be until April 6th. 

Surgery #2 (right eye) April 20th.

I had hoped for much sooner!

So "God grant me the serenity  blah blah blah."

I'll play my old trick.  If I am not patient I'll pretend to be patient.  It works in a long line at a Supermarket.  It'll work as I wait for April!
