Not much going on around here yesterday, the CG is really quiet. Neither Jim or Linda seemed to have much ambition and I think part of the problem was that they knew they had to go to the eye doctor in the afternoon.
I don't know what it is about appointments in the afternoon, but it seems like you don't want to get started doing anything because you know you'll have to quit what you are doing to go to the appointment. If the appointment is in the morning, you can go, get it over with and do what you want to do without having to stop in the middle of something.
Well, anyway, about 2:00 Jim and Linda took CLT and headed down to Champaign to see the retinaologist.
CLT said that there was all kinds of construction on I-57 and he was almost late getting them there. Once there, it didn't take too long until they were being examined.
The examinations consisted of a scan of the retina and a complete check of the eyes. I'm happy to report that Linda's eyes are doing fine and she's good to go for another year. : ) Jim, however, has some problems. : ( In fact, the doctor wants him to see another eye doctor before we leave here and his receptionist even called the other eye doctor and set up an appointment for this Friday.
Needless to say, Jim is not a happy camper about this. Now, he's worried that we won't be able to leave here on the 15th of September like planned. He also isn't fond of going to doctors in general, so this is adding to his apprehension.
I don't think he's going to be in a very good mood the next few days. : (
Did you know that the eye can process 36,000 bits of information every hour?
Very happy to hear that Linda had a good appointment, but sorry to hear that Jim's didn't go so well. We're hoping for the best at his next appointment.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Linda's visit went well. Even though Jim may have additional visits, it is important that goes through the process. You will do just fine. It sounds so familiar as to what I hear every day at work. I work at an eye insurance company and talk to everyone about there eye issues. I personally am due for my annual visit soon and hope mine turns out well.
