Update, for anyone who might be curious. I had all of my tests and was back to the doctor for the results today. Good news/bad news! The good is that I don't have MD and the eye is healthy. Bad is, that since it isn't in the eye itself, then no lens can correct the blurred/double vision, and the problem lies elsewhere. So I have been referred to a neuro ophthalmologist in Baltimore for further evaluation and testing, but they couldn't get me an appointment before July 25th. It could be a number of different things causing the problem - none of which are good - and some worse than others. But again, it's nothing I can change. I could worry about it and make myself a nervous wreck, but then again, the world could end next week, and I'd have wasted my time worrying for no reason. So as you can see, I'm back to square one.

And on top of that, the glasses that were prescribed and are useless to me, they don't want to give me my money back. That's $300+ down the drain, and since I'm on S.S., then that's a good sized chunk of change. I'm pi$$ed and not done with them yet about that. The office manager said she would take it up with the doctor and get back to me tomorrow. Considering that I wore them for only a matter of hours, and nobody caught the fact (until after I bought them) that it was a problem with my eye that a lens wouldn't correct, then they sure as heck better make an exception to their rule.

So that's where things stand as of now. I don't know much more than I did a month ago - other than the fact that I know what it isn't!

At least it's not MD! I'd call the office of the next doc again tomorrow, and ask that if there are any cancellations, you'd like an earlier appointment, please! Explain you are retired so very flexible schedule wise (if that's true).

I already talked to the Baltimore office today to give them insurance info, etc., and asked if I could get an earlier appointment. No - but they put me on a list to call in the event of a cancellation. I'd need a day's notice tho and couldn't take a last minute one, since it's a good 2 hour drive to where I have to go, get to the parking garage, and walk a couple of blocks to the office. And of course I have to be there a half hour early to fill out a ton of forms, etc. Maybe I'll luck out tho and get an earlier one.

Yeah, I suppose it's good that it's not MD, but compared to what they could be looking for, I think I'd prefer MD!

Hope you can get in sooner. Will definitely keep you in my prayers.
