Update from eye doctor appointment!

Well, what I thought was going to be a wonderul eye visit turned out to not be that way at all. The doctor began by telling me that I have an infection or as the other doctor put it an ulcer. I was also told that the cornea is one of the worse places to have an infection since it can cause some prolon effects on vision and the eye itself. I did tell him that it did get smaller so I know that it is healing, but he replied with it is still there and that is not good, but that we need to get it gone right away. So I was given a sample of new eye drops and a prescription for it as well. He did manage to tell me that the drops are one of the most expensive at $70 a bottle, which we did not take the prescription in to see if it covered under the insurance or not so we shall see soon enough though. We did call the pharmacy to ask about side effects and what not, which the pharmacist told us that there was not major side effect other than it is passed out through my urine. She also did say it is one of the strongest ones out there and asked jokinly if there was any other bugs I needed informatiion about. LOL I have been with the pharmacy for over 16 years now in which I get the best service possible and feel I can call them if I have any questions at all on any medication so that is great to know.


So I am once again with no contact in my right eye since I have to go with out it until I get the all is clear, which is depressing to me since I cannot do to many things. I have my next appointment set up for Friday morning in which I hope and pray that my eye is all better, because I want to get back to my normal vision and my normal daily things. I know it will come soon if I believe it will. Just gotta get myself in believing it will now so that it will come sooner than later.


Well, that is my update for you all on my eye appointment. I also made one for getting my vision checked since i cannot very well have it checked with this infection so my vision check is set for next June when DH should be done with his classes put on by the state here in which he will be able to get a job starting lowest salary rate of $12.98 all the way up to $20 + an hour so we are keeping our hopes up that they find him a good job with some great benefits as well since medical insurance is so vital with a family not to mention my medical needs. Take care all and do have a wonderful day!

Can't figure out what's going on with me. Seems since I started the Metformin ER I have stomachaches a lot and feel bloated. Will that go away?

Thanks for the nice note! I enjoy hearing from you and MaryFrances so much.
