Frustrated

This evening, I am frustrated.

After tennis and breakfast, we went to get my eye shots for my macular edema. Believe it or not, I had not even had my colonoscopy the last time that I got shots.

After the shots, I cannot see for an extended period of time and have to sleep. Today was no exception and I have not been able to see even close to properly until now. For someone that lives on texts and emails, that is frustrating.

As a result, I do not have much to report. The research manager says that I sound a little bit more vibrant, but that is all the news.

Two quick notes:

My eye shots are a drug called Eylea. In the early days, they used to use Avastin. A significant part of my chemo treatment is Avastin. As a result, my eyes were as good as they have ever been since I started getting shots about 4 years ago. The doctor indicated that as long as I get chemo, we can go longer without eye shots. I indicated that I would prefer to stop chemo and have more frequent eye shots, but apparently, the will not be the case for a while.

Finally, after my shots, I cannot see. The research manager has a marked limp due to hip and back problems. We call our walk out of the doctor's office, The Halt Leading the Blind.

More news tomorrow.
