Today I get my eye checked. Dr Gajdatsy, how's that for name. Tall bugger too.
So I see him and he says basically the right eye will be sacrificed, gone in layman's terms. The socket will be reamed till uninfected bone is reached. There is also a side effect of this cleaning. The facial nerve goes through the top and bottom of the eye socket meaning the right side of my forehead and right side of my face will be numb. No feeling. I wont even feel the right side of my lip. Can you imagine drinking but not feeling the cup on your lip. The mouth may also be affected, possibly the tongue and taste.
He said he will be the one removing the eye.
Along the way he adds the pain in the eye drops. And checks my eyes. Then another doctors check my eyes as well for other things. It was uncomfortable but better to do it.
Later I ask what will happen to the eye. He said it's infected so it cannot be reused, rather it will become someone's lab specimen. The eye may have a muscle flap which will create a flat eye surface depending on what the plastic team chooses.
I will also need to do a peripheral perception test. Basically to see if I have any blackspots in my vision.
I also had a number of calls from the doctor to make appointments. One was to see professor Knuckey to discuss the additional growth in my thyroid, another was to do an ultrasound biopsy, and the other was the peripheral test. I also have to remind myself to see a GP to check my phenytoin levels. Don't really like this drug makes me weak and drowsy.
