The CBC came out about like last week – WBC’s at 2.0 with most of the components within normal limits, and my red blood count, hemaglobin and platelets all OK. Not sure if Dr. Kewalramani will want me to have another blood test next week. I am sure he’ll call me in the next day or two.<\/p>\n
I did wake up today with a nasty-looking left eye, quite red. My eyes have been bothering me off and on for a couple of months, and I’ve been using the steroidal drops I was given a year ago for a similar problem. A couple of days use cleared up the problem, and then it came back a week or two later.<\/p>\n
So this time I went to see the opthamologist (Dr. Bauer, in new office digs in Hawthorne). He said I had the same epi-sclerotic infection that I had when I saw him a year ago. It is of the auto-immune variety, which simply means they can’t tell the cause. <\/p>\n
Anyway he prescribved the same steroidal drops, only used with much greater frequency, and for a whole week. I’ve been using them for seven hours (one drop once an hour for the first two days) and the eye already feels and looks better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
