September 12 Final Update

I think today was about the same as yesterday. I went to the eye doctor today and he quickly pronounced my condition as Lattice Degeneration. He said is likely NOT due to my chemo. He has customers with the problem and they are perfectly healthy. He said if it has happened three times in the last 10 days don’t worry about it. He said if I experience it 24 x 7, then call him immediately and he will send me to someone that will zap it with a laser.

I asked him if I should cancel the Doppler test on my carotid artery. He said it is probably still a good thing to do.

I feel like I"m falling apart piece by piece.

My legs are still swollen. I have stopped at a couple of drug stores for some kind of support hose and when I ask for them, I get blank stares.

I went out with the Vorlon Wife for my 1-mile walk. It took me about 25 minutes to cover the one mile. Time was the Vorlon Wife had to struggle to keep up with me, now I cannot keep up with her.

Alas, it’s past time for bed.

Ted, you might also try your local Medical Supply store. They should carry these.
