Letter to a friend about my experience with the eye doctor yesterday
I was gonna call you after my eye doctor's last night - but I was in bad shape. He gave me some drops to dilate my pupils and it f-d me up big time. I could not see 2 feet in front of me -
had to call e to pick me up at the hospital - my pupils were as big as frying pans - I swear - with the red hair, I looked like Wilma Flintstone.
Seriously - no joke. E looks like Fred, and me beside him...?
I was waiting to step into his car with the cement wheels...
So I was thinking that these acid eye drops would only last 30 minutes tops. I almost flipped when the doc
told me up to 4 hours!!!
So aside from age - he said stress could be a possibility - but what worried him more was the fact
that I've been on plaquenil for 10 years. "retina Toxicity is a possibility with plaquenil - the effects are cumulative - so I'm sending you to see a retina specialist"
Yum. More eye poking around.
Nothing freaks me out more than eyeballs.
For the sake of F&*K, I've taken pictures of brain and spinal surgeries, and that was a walk in the park when it comes to eyes.
I go beyond the heebeegeebees - I feel ill and have freaky out of body experiences that are not pleasant.
after the doctor finished burning my pupil with these lights that ended up making me stars until this morning, I'm dreading what this RETINA doctor is going to do....
I guess I can always go trick or treating early as a member of the modern stone aged family...
