Dec. 15th, 2005 04:43 pmMy eye appointment went well this morning. Both eyes are free of inflammation--well, as far as one can see without doing an dye trace, and thank the gods they didn't order one--and they want me to swap down to a lower strength of steroid drops, then taper the dose off over two months. So, in February I shall be drug-free for the first time since '98. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.
I'm now tired and rather wobbly on my legs; mercifully no one is likely to mistake me for a newborn deer. I did intend to nap this afternoon, but every time I try, someone knocks at the door with a delivery. I have a pile of intriguing boxes building up in the living room.
Weird happening of the day: the nurses at the uveitis clinic were so bemused by my blood pressure that they took it three times to make sure. 118/86 is surely not uncommon? I suppose it could be considered unusual in someone of my weight but they were still marvelling over it when I left and shooting me confused looks. On the plus side, they didn't need to hunt down the extra-large cuff, so my arms have shrunk :)
