12:30 PM - Next Please - Dr. Chotners Office

Dr. Chotner's office performed a full eye exam including a field of vision test which I failed misserably in the right eye.  He noticed "folds" on the back of my retina and scurried around to make an appointment for an MRI @ 3:00pm.


MRI?  Oh goodie never had one of those before.  It was like stuffing 100lbs (yes I weigh more than that) of potatoes into a 25lb sack.


So the MRI was over around 4:45 (some half hour, eh?) - after telling them not to inject the dye into my right arm, they did it anyway and learned (I will teach, they will learn) and did it in my left arm.


Dr. Chotner got the Radiologist report and said I should go to Hershey Emergency room and get an IV drip of Steroids for 3 days.  What he should have said was 3 days in a row as an out patient, not 24 hrs. a day for 3 days straight.  Dr. Chotner also indicated that the Radiologist saw active spots of MS (Multiple Sclerosis) on the MRI.  Time for a Nurology appointment...


I did not get the IV drip as my Niece Anna was having a graduation party and getting her the Apple Mac Book Pro Laptop and eating dinner @ Bricco with most of the family was way more important.


Technology & Family 1st!!!!!!!!!!
