We're fine, thanks!
Nov. 4th, 2008 05:38 pmSorry folks freaked out. I've been having issues with my left eye for a week. Really red. Tender. Twinging when I changed focus too quickly. Yesteray it was a little better but there was a new smudgey spot. I'd planned to call the GH consulting nurse anyway, so I did. She said, "That sounds like it could be a detached retina. Go to Urgent Care now." So NordicBoy and I grabbed books and sweaters (it's always cold in Emergency/Urgent Care) and headed up. Long story short: not a retina problem. Some sort of infection and inflamation. I now have antibiotic and anti-inflamatory eye drops for my left eye and a follow-up appt. for next Tuesday? Anyone want to drive me? I suspect they'll dilate my eyes again, and driving home today was challenging. I'd rather not do that again. ;-P
