Good Morning:
Ended up in emergency again - intense pain and blurring in left eye developed in the afternoon and although did call my opthamologist's office for consultation, he was with patients, of course. So receptionist said she would talk to him between patients and call me back with answer to my two questions. Needless to say, she never called me back. I called back but couldn't get through, then when I did get through, office was closed and they don't take messages. You can imagine how let down and frustrated I felt. Here we go again. Anyway, called a health line for info. and they advised with this kind of pain and blurring, etc. go to emergency. So off I went for another 4-hr. or so wait. Tired when I got home, but at least know that there is no internal bleeding and o.k. to keep using meds. until my laser appt. next wk. My own dr. was the opthamologist on call. He didn't come to the hospital but details of examination, pressures, were given to him over the phone.
This morning, first thing, receptionist called because there was a file on her desk (from yesterday with the answers to my questions) from doctor saying exactly what he said last night. I asked her why she didn't call back yesterday. She answered because when it was time for her to go home, dr. was still with two patients, so she just left the file on his desk. I kept my politeness but did let her know because of those two unanswered questions, I had to go to emerg. etc. She said "sorry". I will be writing a letter to my doctor about this incident.
Well, I slept o.k. and today, though still have blurry vision but less pain in that one eye, I'm o.k. Not panicky at all - stressed though but handling it o.k. BP doing great too. Still listening to my relaxation tapes every day until all this settles down and also breathing exercises whenever I feel the stress.
On a happier note: my grandchildren from out west are coming for a month to visit.
But on a sad note, my youngest daughter had a miscarriage yesterday, but she and husband taking it very well and she is physically fine. Thank you Lord for that.
Oh yes, and the visit yesterday a.m. with the person I'm helping with anxiety went very well too.
What a day! thanks for listening everybody and all your kind thoughts for me.
