So now it's my Wednesday Appointment

    I learned that my afternoon appointment was with Dr. Deere. Dr. F. had said to apprise her of the situation, to have her send the notes to him and to give her his cellphone number. Naturally, what had seemed a worrisome issue on Monday had pretty much resolved by Wed. afternoon. I'd been seen by Dr. Deere when she first joined the practice, maybe about 8-10 years ago or so. She looks exactly the same, with blonde curly hair and a friendly attitude. I underwent a few tests prior, vision and pressure check, all normal. She asked about my concerns, which I said were mostly resolved. She  said I had a large "rough patch" in my right eye, which could cause pain and swelling, even of the eyelid. (Really?) I asked her what could have caused it and she pretty much repeated what I'd told her---that it was probably attributable to the recent field testing and maybe to the insertion of the drops. She gave me a sample of Systane, an OTC medication. So besides the waiting periods, all went well. Except while I was waiting in front of the great big fish tank, I saw a dead fish in the lower corner of the tank. I told them about it. You know what they say:  One dead fish can spoil the whole tank."
