One more Doctor Appointment down! ?? to go!

I just talked to Sally, Conrad and Rita.  Sally got an unexpected opportunity to see Dr. Holcomb, an ophthalmologist today when he had a cancellation.  She got a thorough eye exam and a prescription for new glasses.

The exam showed that she has gotten more far-sighted (therefore the need for new glasses) but there is no evidence of Glaucoma or Macular Degeneration.  The doctor could see some microscopic evidence of a previous stroke, but Sally already knew about that.  Sally said that he told her that she is not going blind.  Sally's glad that there is one catastrophic outcome that's ruled out.

She got to go to church last Sunday and she was thrilled to be back.  One of her friends there told her that she belonged in the choir loft, not out in the congregation.  That made her feel good, like she's been missed (and appreciated).

Sally is ready to get the stent out of her kidney-ureter-bladder.  That should happen when she sees Dr. Jiminez on Thursday.  She sees Dr. Drenning, her cardiologist, tomorrow.

(I feel like I'm in withdrawal, being gone almost two weeks from Arab.  I'll be back on February 5th.)
