Monday (11/3/201

Update:

This morning I am getting ready to head to an appointment with my retinal specialist.  I am still receiving monthly eye injections seeking to stabilize and hopefully reverse damage done to my eyes.  Overall my vision has improved, although it is still significantly impaired in my right eye.  I’ll have a number of tests, photos, and scans run this morning, and I’m certain I’ll get an injection in my right eye.  The doctor is assuming that I’ll need another round of laser surgery.  He’ll decide after reviewing the results of the tests.  Either way, the rest of my Monday is shot.  My vision will be compromised for the rest of the day so most of it will be spent napping and listening to music.


On Tuesday afternoon, I will have a plaster cast made of my leg.  They’ll use that model to create a test socket of plastic and fiberglass.  This test socket and easily be modified as we tweak the design to give me the best fit, support, and comfort before they make a more permanent leg for me.  After the casting it takes about a week to get the test socket and I can start walking again.
