A few weeks ago I posted about the blurriness I had in one eye for about an hour (I had retina surgery 2 years ago).   The doctor wants me to go to the radiology center for a caratoid (sp?) artery scan, as its possible a slight blockage caused that.  Those are the arteries in your neck.   I has a little upset hearing that but in speaking to some people I know it seems to be a routine type test.    Anyway, I'm going Thursday morning, so please send good vibes for a positive outcome.     If there's a blockage it might require surgery, which I really don't look forward to.    I was so upset about the whole thing that when I came home I couldn't find the house keys in my purse, and Paul hadn't taken his keys with him.    Finally found the keys in the purse lining, guess there was a hole there and it slipped thru.     Paul was driving me crazy, as while I know he means well - he's not the most patient person in the world!     I guess some of you can relate to that.

that everything comes back ok. I know it's probably nerve-wrecking especially dealing with your eyesight, but if it's a routine test they probably just want to rule it out. Please let us know what they say.

 for a good report, Lana. Sounds like it's a fairly common procedure, but I can imagine you'd be upset and worried....I would be, too. Paul needs to calm down....you don't need that on top of going through the problems with your eyes.

Will be thinking of you on Thursday :cross: :vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes: I can relate :hugs: We, Larry and I, were locked out of the house a few week's ago. It was quite comical, I am sure for the neighbor's, as we were trying to break in to our own home. Could not :lol3: and then there was the arguing about who's fault it was. Called my cat sitter who has a key and came over to let us in :blush: She got a real laugh out of that one :rofl: Larry didn't think it was too funny :sigh:

The cats locked me out of my apartment one time, by pushing over a lock that was on the inside of the door. I had to explain to everyone coming down the stairs, "I'm not trying to rob this place, I live here!" :lol3:
