Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 honey!! Sounds like you are having a rough day! I am feeling better after my appointment. I got some stronger elastics and some reassurance...which seems to be enough to stave off any paranoia I was experiencing. You gotta get your OD and OS on the same page. There is no excuse for them to be off doing their own thing, and then making comments to you about what the other has or hasn't done. Time to raise a little hell I think! If you're not up to it, let me at 'em! I'll drive that bulldozer right into their clinics. I will stand on top of it with my breastplate, sheild, cape, and plastic sword, demanding that they better get their act together or else! As for your swelling, I am sorry to hear it. Just know that it will soon be gone, and the only comments you will recieve will be compliments ant whistles as you dazzle the world with your 1000 watt smile. A better day is just around the corner.
