Thought I would follow up with the report I got yesterday on the problem with my left eye – my so-called “good eye,” but first a little math.
Five minutes ago, Forbes reported the cost of oil has reached an all-time high at $113 a barrel.
The price of the antibiotic eyedrops needed to treat my eye is $3,090,278.40 a barrel. I figured it up.
As I mentioned a few days ago, I haven’t had a prescription filled in years. I’ll get over the shock in a week or two.
The retina specialist says I have an infection which can be a “recurring condition” and has a name so long I didn’t think it worth the effort to remember.
The feeling of having something in the eye is being caused by a "swollen area" on my eyeball. Nice.
A week of the eyedrops should clear up the infection and, hopefully, the blurring which has greatly hamped my computer activity of late.
$3,090,278.40 a barrel. My God!

dreams
A warm welcome to the naturally curious, the politically engaged and constant learners. I am a retired newspaper editor with a fickle foe, retinitis pigmentosa, or RP. While my sense of sight is waning, my "vision" is not, and, by God, I can still see my dreams!

Ohhhh, BJ -- so sorry! Get well soon.
Sure hope those eye drops give you a quick healing of the agitation you've been enduring. Sending lots of good thoughts and prayers your way. Jan
Hey, am I out in left field here, or is that good news? It's an infection, not a further degeneration. Your vision will clear to some extent? You have a lot of work to do, we cannot do without your insights here.
