Dr. Dana The Eye Guy

First appointment for my week of testing went well!
I’m hoping this is a trend for the week.

Look at the picture of one of my eye tests. Some 26 year old women go to the spa, get their make-up done, and fake eye lashes put on.

I go to the ophamalagist and get this funky test which I think is to measure how quickly my eyes wet themselves.

This is not a style I predict you'll be seeing in Vogue for the fall fashion season.

At least the art was fabulous.

Somehow, the hospitals in Boston are all adorned with beautiful, or at least appreciable, works of art.
Everyone at Mass. Eye and Ear were very friendly.
I didn’t expect anything less, but some large, prominent hospitals do not understand that every employee contributes to an environment, or what I like to say in psyche speak the “healing milieu.”
I really dislike being met by somebody with a negative attitude behind any desk when I am desperately trying to look on the Brightside.
I also have trouble seeing what can be so much more difficult about their life than mine.
Clearly, I’m encountering them in a hospital. I’m not there because everything is wonderful in Hillville.
What I love is when everyone I meet has a pleasant demeanor. Everything seems to go more smoothly.
Today did go smoothly, from checking into to intake testing, then questions from the fellow to meeting Dr. Dana. I enjoyed everybody very much.
My eyes are dry.
Plan and simple. I had my lacrimal ducts plugged to keep the moisture I do have in my eyes from draining.
I liken this to a damn. The resevior is my eyes. The damn contains the water for use.
The plugs keep moisture in my eyes to prevent problems such as the severe pain I am experiencing.
Hopefully I can go back to things I enjoy, such as reading and playing on my computer.
I am feeling better all ready. I’m looking at the screen. All smiles here. Thank you Dr. Dana and Staff.
I received more eye drops. The restasis I am using takes 3 months for full effect. I’m using drops until then. I also have the option of plugging an additional duct. There are two in the eyes. I have plugged one.
It’s always good to have options.

I brought home Depereaux for Xander. It's the story of a very brave mouse who did not fear knives or humans! I think this story is perfect to prepare for the rest of the week. We're going to watch it together tonight.

Tomorrow I'm off early for an appointment with my all-star psychiatrist. Then I'm off with Heather, my twin sister, for a girl's afternoon of retail therapy (with Pierce of course).

Then it's the big day on Thursday! I'll keep you posted.
