Both the eye & I came through with positive results. Mr Man's eye showed no further damage & more importantly there seemed to be some tiny improvement shown in the scans, so the decision for further surgery is being delayed. This new to us Doctor says he would try a particular medication before opting for surgery. A medication we have not been told about before! Follow up appointment is end of February, which means another trip to the big city.

To celebrate we went to a new to us restaurant for lunch.
glad you has such a successful trip into town
ReplyDeletePleased to hear there was some positive news - the journey second time around is always far less stressful so fingers crossed for the return trip!
ReplyDeleteThat all sounds very positive on the eye front. I would find the city driving stressful too. Have a great week Mary-Lou.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like really good news! I'm so glad.
ReplyDeleteCity driving? If there is one thing guaranteed to make me talk about moving to the country, it's an afternoon on our busiest road here. I'm so admiring of TSO and her friends actually having to learn to drive in it.
Have a good week
What super news - prayers said that the new drugs will work well. I don't mind driving but do find unfamiliar big cities stressful (more when I have to get somewhere on time than when I am heading home though). Have a lovely week x
ReplyDeleteMary-Lou. Well done on managing a stressful situation so well. Glad you rewarded yourselves with a new eating experience, which I notice has a "horse" reference, one of your favourite interests. Hope Mr. Man's sight is 20/20.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn how lovely to see you here. Food is always a go to reward.
DeleteGreat eye news!
ReplyDeleteI remember my first trip to the big city after 10 weeks' henro walking. It was very stressful and took time to acclimatise. Can't imagine always feeling like that, must be awful.
Toronto has quickly become HUGE. I have never been a fan of cities & with so much construction, the old routes are never direct anymore. Now that I know my route, it will be much calmer.
DeleteGlad all went well with the eye and that you coped ok.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a successful outing & a good report on the eye!
ReplyDeleteGlad the new things were all so positive and that you are finding new ways to be in situations y might not like.
ReplyDeleteIt's needing always to know my exit point, that is my first focus in stressful situations, once I know that, deep slow breathes.
DeleteGlad to hear the good news. We haven't been to Toronto in many years, but are contemplating a trip this year to see an exhibit at the Royal Museum.
ReplyDeleteWe thought about waiting around until the ROM opened but in the end, Mr Man just wanted to go home.
DeleteWhat good news about Mr Man's eye! I'm with you on city driving ...
ReplyDeleteHope the medication is a success. I usually hate big cities even when not driving but I did love Toronto when we came to Canada 16 years ago - I was very impressed with the PATH system - we could disappear to the basement of our hotel and then pop up in the railway station over the road - a fab idea for when the weather is bad and it saves trying to cross the roads too. Wishing you a great week!!
