Happytobhear. Hello again. Please update me, to let me how you’re doing. I went to a different optometrist today, and they believe, I have some type of bacterial infection in my eyes. If the meds. don’t work, she’ll send me on for future testing. She mentioned a brain MRI, which I had over2 years ago, but told me that a lot could change in that time, with my history, plus the constant migraines.
Wishing you the very best, and lots of prayers going your way. I, too, am happy your where you’re at. Update if you can and want. I’m very positive for you, and happy to know you!
🙏🤗Lisa

@lisagraber Hi Lisa, I saw the ophthalmologist at Mayo Red Wing. He was amazing! One of the best doctors I’ve ever known! Great upbeat personality. His assistant also fantastic. Took tons of pictures etc. Then when dr looked at my eyes he was incredibly thorough. He didn’t rush, kept looking. Then he said- he’d gone over everything 4 times and I am 100% healthy eyes! He let it sink in and I couldn’t believe going in thinking I may go blind and now nothing. When I started smiling he said Yay! What a relief. He said he’s looked at thousands of eyes and there is nothing. I can check it off my list! Next oncology on 11th Rochester. I truly appreciated his time. An excellent person who cared enough to be certain. So I say Yay! I hope you are having luck w appointments.

I use an app through research w Cedars-Sinai call Elly. It’s people with different cancers giving daily help in various areas. One made me think of you and some who are here. He said the 200th dr will know what’s wrong. In other words keep going, don’t give up and find that one dr who will be able to give you answers.
Also, I didn’t see your reply, it needs the @ before the name so they will email me. 🙏 My best to you and everyone helping here. This place is gold!
