Re: Another visit to the Opthomologist

[Guest guest]

Hi Rita,

I used to work for an ophthalmologist while I was in college, and I know

corneal ulcers can be serious. PLEASE relax and take the drops and I will pray

for a quick healing. I am glad you were assertive and got seen today. We really

do need to be our own patient advocates don't we?

Bless you Rita.

Rita - I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you that you

do respond and this gets better quickly.

Hi All:

My right eye started up once again. I called the opthomologist's office and

explained that I had been there 2 weeks ago and my eye problem is back again.

They were going to set my appointment for next Tuesday...but I convinced them I

needed to be seen TODAY, while this infection is active, and not be the same

opthomologist. Long story short - I went in and sure enough I have corneal

ulcers. Why the other opthomologist could not pick this up is beyond me.

Anyway, I'm out of work today and tomorrow. I have to put drops in on the hour

for 24 hours, then go to every 2 hours until Monday, when I go back to see her

again. It's pretty serious, if it doesn't clear up they will put me in the

hospital and hook me up to an I.V. I'll let you know how it goes...Rita
