Oh, the joys of aging. I put my cues away some time ago because I was missing shots I considered routine. Went to my regular ophthalmologist. He sent me to a retina clinic. Tests. Pressure elevated, age related macular degeneration (AMD for short) in the left eye. So, perhaps a result of having AFIB? Maybe the diabetes?
At the retina clinic, got an injection of some sort of jungle juice in the eyeball. These to prevent more vision loss. Seems like this is an every few weeks process.
Back to my usual ophthalmologist next week for another pressure test.
Groan...
Whippersnappers wonder why so many crusty old bastids about? We're crusty because we hate the physical deterioration process, hate that nobody beats father time...
