Though maybe it was not all bad. On Thursday, 9/30/10, I had my peripheral vision tested again - to help the doctor verify his initial diagnosis of pigment dispersion glaucoma. It may not be that after all, so he is comtinuing testing. I'm up for that, because perhaps he will come up with something less scary. The technician was late, or had gotten caught up with something else, so the front desk person ran the test - or should i say, monitored the machine that did the test. When I asked if she could also check the eye pressure, she said she couldn't because the doctor was not there. I did not think that the doctorr needed to be there, so I asked her if she was a technician. She said yes, part of the time. So I will somewhat suspicious of the results of the test - no matter what they are. The dr. mentioned I will probably get an MRI or a referral to a neuro opthalmologist. We'll see. (pun).
Then my regular doctor checked out my ankle and ordered an Xray since it has been 6 weeks since I injured it. Results due on Monday.
So, we'll see what the radiologist says. I've already checked out ankle rehabilitation exercises per the doctors orders. I also plan to go to the pool soon and start up a regular routine again.
And then I see the eye doctor on Tuesday. Perhaps he will determine that the eye pressure is a fluke. Anything is possible.
