Posting a day late because of 2 appointments

I didn't post until today becasue yesterday's visit to the BMT clinic was as routine as any that I have experienced.  Inasmsuch as it was a holiday the traffic going to town and on to the University was light.  There was plenty of parking spaces in the garage and I found a handicap space close to the elevator lobby.  The hallway waiting area was empty and I guessed that there wouldn't be much waiting, but waiting is something the staff expoects patients to do and I didn't leave until noon to go home.  I only saw 4 nurses in the Infusion Room, but 5 of the 6 chairs were occupied after I took one. Craig collected me from the waiting area and took me for vitals;  I wasn't able to see the machine display, but when Kristy, my nurse for the day, brought the materials for placing a line in my port she said that she was going to take my blood pressure again because she didn't believe the 160 upper reading.  Her result was 131/71, which is higher than the average oveer the years but much better in her mind.

Kristy asked how I felt and did I have any thing to discuss.  So I told her that as I drove I had double vision.  The broken white line to my left seemed to diverge and trend toward the line in the lane to my right; if I lowered my gaze I only saw one line but every time that i looked toward the horizon the line diverged.  I told her that I have an appointment next Tuesday with the surgeon who operated on my eyelids and who had told me on a visit 10 days after the surgery that the double vision I was having then most likely would go away once the healing was complete.  That double vision was quite different; just a shadow that I saw behind each letter when I didn't have my glasses on and he said that as long as I didn't have double vision straight ahead I shouldn't worry about it.  Kristy then talked to the PA on duty and came back to tell that he PA had suggested that I call the surgeon and not wait until I see him next week.  I didn't notice any double vision today on my way to Dr. Horsley's office and am guessing the double vision was some transient thing.

I had an appointment at 8:30 this morning to have stitches removed from incisions that Dr. Horsley had made behind my left ear to cut away cancerous tissue that he had taken a biopsy from on a visit on April 27.  It was from a swelling that I began to notice a few days after the routine visit in March. The biopsy showed that the growth was malignant and I went back on May 13 for him to cut some more away he and told me to come back for removal of the stitches on May 28, but I had a conflict and got it changed to today.  Dr. Horsley was away on a trip and a nurse who only comes in on Monday and Tuesday could see me between 7:00 and 8:30.  She said the wound looks good and I won't need to return after the sterile strips fall off.
