Day Five, Wednesday, back at 10 for another eye test, more pictures and a quick look at the eye by the doctor and all of the members working with her. She was happy, elated almost, everything looked good, no sign of infection or abrasions where the needle went in and she informed me that I was the Eleventh person in the world to have this procedure done! And, of course everyone had to take a peek. I think I will have to invent a different light source; the bright lights do make me tear up. One of the young doctors had difficulty in seeing the placement of the drug inserted, so he stood on the footrest of the chair to see if it would be helpful. As he said he, was Vertically Challenged, and we laughed at this remark. Back to work afterwards and since I still had some double vision and curved lines, I spent the day working with my glasses taped over to see the computer screen.
After work I met my wife at church for the meeting of the Mayfair Lions Club, our club, told them of the events of the day, that I was number Eleven in the world to have this procedure and after the meeting one of our members said that she too was undergoing the normal treatment and only received an injection every three months or so. Maybe this study could reduce her sessions in the future, only time will tell. Our club has been committed to research for years, we donated Ten Thousand in the initial campaign for construction and try to send at least Two hundred a year for the programs at LIERI.
