Hi Everyone,
Well I had my Big Eye appointment today made by my GP. You won't believe where he sent me. Ready for this one?......WALMART! Yes ... walmart has an optical department. I can't believe all of this, it's just too much. They even tried getting me to pay for the pressure test for my eyes, glaucoma! They wanted $50.. CASH ONLY. I told them off, that it should be covered under our insurance and if not that I am not to pay as Dis pays.. this guy did not even do the Orange stuff they put in your eye in order to see any cuts or scrapes. My eye is STILL paining me so much it goes right through the Oxy's! Terrible stabbing pain. He said when he just looked through this lense that I had a little piece of foriegn matter in there. Gosh it is still Stabbing and when I try to type or look at the puter it gets soo much worse, like right now.. He wouldn't tell me anything other than "You have no cuts there now" He said he would send a letter to my doc telling him whatever and he just gave me an over the shelf name eye drops on a script piece of paper and told me I could buy it off the shelf and use it 20 times a day if I wanted to. Called "Tears Naturale" You think he would give me something better that I didn't have to pay for. I don't think he believed anything I told him and every time I started to speak he cut me off! Grrr and crying all day. Having a horrible day with everything, back and tendonitis in my right foot this morning was unreal. (achilles) Anyways my eye is killing me and now I am seeing double so I better give it a rest. Thanks for listening but I have had a most awful day. This doc is suppose to be a sugeon too. I can't believe he didn't do that test properly. I am telling this GP what I think and I think it is time to find another doctor. My hand is still bothering me and that thing (I want it out!) is all swollen again...what is wrong with these doctors!? Thanks for listening and sorry to be such a crab. So that is my update! nice one...horrible experience. Oh I even had to Ask him for a new perscription for a pair of glasses..What a joke. Bad one though. thanks for being here.
Cloe how are you doing? Better I hope? Hi PaLady, how are you doing? and everyone here that has been nice on that awful day and since.

p.s. I took out a bunch of things I should never had said. I am sorry everyone that wasn't very nice, was just at the end of my rope. PALady I Know exactly what you are/were going through...my friend used to do the exact same thing to me and still does. She doesn't and I hope not, intentionally do these things as she is terribly busy at work and just forwards them without thinking but there were a few times where I was soo upset with her that I actually blocked her off e-mail and my phone and didn't speak to her for Months! and like you were saying always came up with something silly, the same as your "friend" there, well, you need to just laugh things off" or something to that effect. I am also sorry in what context it was about. I am still having trouble with that and haven't returned to work since 2002 after my C. operations, too much going on and had to go on Dis. so I know how it feels to lose that too PALady. Your career but Please don't give up ok! keep on at it, something will turn up or maybe you can work from home? idea There are a lot of people that will pay you to work from home as in the medical field not these scams. Also the courts will pay you for transcription along with the medical field also. I know exactly how you feel PALady...and I am so sorry you are having such a hard time..it is a very difficult transition "if" you have to go through it. This is why I found my hobby, either that or I thought I would go crazy for sure being at home doing nothing. I hope you are feeling a bit better today?
Sorry this is getting long and I still can't see and in lots of pain, over did my pain meds now...yikes..Thanks and sorry everyone for some of the things I said....just kind of blew my top I guess.
OH!  shocked   received a phone call (had message 8:15am) the morning after I had that appointment and posted that...! from that doc... shocked lol saying he was thinking of me and that maybe we should do the tests over again and gave me his personal cell phone number! uh oh...lol Nope won't go back or to my gp either. I'm done with that...this is 3rd world treatment...am so sore my dad was saying my eyes were like little slits this morning, dry too and wanted to get me up to the ER again but I said no..couldn't even get out of bed.. like my eye was totally drying out..drops and drops I put in but it feels like there is a huge cut in there now and seeing double out of that eye, what is going on? Have too many things wrong going on and I can't deal with them anymore..and now my meds..none left after tomorrow. rolleyes I'm scared about this but I couldn't help it trying to walk and see at the same time was just almost impossible and unbearable. Am at the end of my rope, too many things wrong and no help from that GP. Can't see anyone here unless you have a referral and that doesn't even work Maybe I should call that ER doc and see what he says? The guy I was suppose to see, his secretary said I could do that..about my eye.
