Possible Transportation

Less than a wk. after My Ophthalmologist's advice not to drive if there's any question about my vision, I found an agency that offers transportation to folks on Medicare. There's a $2 charge for in-town trips. But, the great thing is they'll take me to Asheville for a $12 round trip fee. That's a load off of my mind. At present, my wife either has to take me to the docs and rush to prep. for work after or, she has to get up on her day off and drive when she might not feel like it. That's happened enough that I've really begun to feel like a burden.
Don't know if my wife will go for the $12. Depends on how precious her day off and "me" time is.
Funny thing is, I once worked for this agency.

Day of the Oncologist

Wed. was my day for an Oncologist visit. He had no idea what might have caused my stirring sensation a couple of weeks ago. He did say he wanted to continue with the MRI and CAT scans every 6 months to keep tabs on me. The latest MRI showed that I remain stable. Good word, Stable. :-)

Eye Guy

Had an appt. with my Ophthalmologist Monday. Man, I hate having my eyes dialated! I was a little tired, which affects my vision more, now. So, I think I was a little off my usual impressiveness :-). It was the way he said "You're in the normal range". But, he was not alarmed. In 6 mo.'s I get to enjoy dialation, again. They're also going to check my optic nerve then. This is so much fun.
The news was good enough that my wife and I went to TGI Fridays for a nice lunch. Had the Santa Fe salad w/out Ranch dressing. Had the balsam Vinegarette instead. Was quite tasty!
