Hello again!?

I feel like I have been neglecting my blog so I have a new addition for my readers, if there are any! The past week has been a little hectic, I have had 3 doctors appointments in the last 5 days all for my eyes. Ophthalmologist says the eye looks the same, the optic nerve is still as swollen as before the spinal tap. Neurologist says I am not responding to the medicine that he put me on and the optic nerves look the same. Next step just may have to be eye surgery...ewww scary! Well the neurologist has referred me out to yet another doctor a neuro-opthamologist, now isnt that a mouthfull. Basically my other 2 doctors combined in one brain. Well today was the appointment, I got there right at 9am, there was a 2.5 hour wait to see the technician and then another hour to see the actual doctor. I spent 3.5 hours in a doctors office I would like to refer to as the pit of the freaking earth. I saw more old people then a field day at a nursing home, I listened to some old man talk about smoking pot. I saw a lady with a hump on her back that looked like a full backpack. Apparently because it is a teaching hospital they have a clinic where people can get their care real cheap. To top it all of I saw a man from the prision being escorted in leg chains and handcuffs. There was also another prisoner in a wheelchair chained up too. Like where is he going to go!!! Well all in all the visit was great, the doctor told me that I have to let the meds work for about 6 months and that he was going to test my visual field for the next 6 months and monitor any changes so I guess I am in the clear for right now!!! Yippeeee
