Thank you all for the nice wishes. I basically woke up last Monday blind as a bat. I'm about 80 percent of the way back to normalcy because I have an eye doctor who has in thie file that I can cut the line if needed. for the first time in 20 plus years pf working with him, I used that and he gave me shots in each eye on Tuesday. He hit a blood vessel but that's no long-term damage other than my eye bruised for a few days

I get infusions every 8 weeks which is pretty low maintenance but when we changed insurance providers at work, they denied the remicade which I had been taking for more than a decade. And the Arthritis place showed no real urgency to get me in quickly as they messed up my notes to the extent where they asked if I wanted to come in February. I was so thrilled with that and the several hours with the pharmacy, and the two groups who cover the money these infusions cost, which to be honest, is a lot less than th
e Remicade I'm on,

So thanks to my eye doctor who has been the ONLY medical provider to really move mountains for me, I'm at least closer to normal and took off the last week to get some rest and get better

Oh, I fell here at home about 14 years ago and detached my retina and ended up with cataract surgery after that. I sympathize with anyone who goes through tht.
