Re: Visit with Eye Surgeon this a.m..............................

LouSorry for another round of issues you have to deal with. However, do notcontinue the six minute walk or any other walk to the point you did ofdropping into the 70's. Either use more oxygen or time your walk andstop it when you drop below 88....no later than 85 or 86 or so.>> Surgeon had me taking glocoma drops every night before bed because of> the swelling of the eye, today on my checkup, the glocoma drops have> now had a bad effect on my eye and edema has roosted in my house.> crap-o-la. haa It is sore a little, but he changed drops for me and> by golly gave me sample bottles, otherwise I told him it was> $35.00 co-pay for a tiny tiny tiny tiny, and 1 more tiny bottle.> Good Grief.
