I mentioned recently that I had another check-up, this time at the eye clinic at St Thomas’s. This happened on Monday, although I almost missed it because I was convinced that it was scheduled for Wednesday. As it happened, I was planning to go into Portsmouth by train, so when I got the reminder, (15 minutes before the start of the clinic!) it was ‘just’ a matter of getting the train in the opposite direction, and letting the clinic know I would be 90 minutes late!”<\/p>\n
Anyway, not a problem, and I duly arrived and went more or less straight in to see the consultant. The result was that I still have some damage to my cornea, caused by the dry eyes, and so I have to continue with the eye drops, but more serious is that the cataracts that were noticed last time are getting more noticeable, so at some point in the not so distant future, I will need to have my eye lenses replaced. At least that will cure the short sightedness!<\/p>\n
There isn’t a pressing need at the moment, but I suspect it will have to be done sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n
Other than that, all seems OK. I haven’t had my blood test results from King’s, but on the basis that no news is good news, and if there was anything untoward, they would have called, I am not unduly concerned.<\/p>\n
The deadline for my dissertation draws closer, so this is where most of my effort is directed, I shall be glad to get it done and handed in!<\/p>\n
So on that note, very much onwards and upwards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
