@jlstaloch, you must be so grateful and relieved that you doctor in Fargo recommended getting the spot checked out. Early treatment has a higher success rate.

I hope you saw the helpful post from @sszantay and their wise counsel about keeping the worrying in check. Naturally, we all know that is harder said than done. Improvement may take time.

You asked about things to do or consider between now and your appointment on Monday. My first tip would be to do something enjoyable this weekend.

Do you know how long you will have the radioactive plaque on your eye? Will your wife being staying in Rochester with you during this time?

I did see the post from @sszantay and was encouraged. That is where I am at also. I have trust in God to see my family and I through this. That is the only explanation for why I got to the eye doctor when I did and why this was found early as I have zero symptoms.

I took my 15 year old son mountain biking yesterday which is something he’s been wanting to do all summer and we had a great time. Today will be spent probably enjoying time with my other son who is 12. My wife and I will be leaving for Rochester on Sunday morning and the plaque will be placed on Monday and removed Friday. My wife will be with me the whole week as we live over 600 miles from Rochester. We rented a VRBO which will be considerably more comfortable than a hotel room. We are just looking forward to getting this next week done with and get back to our normal routine.
