Rice Grains

Yesterday I had another follow-up visit with 2 of my doctors, Dr. Apichai (opthomalogist) and Dr. Onumar (infectious disease specialist). Dr. Apichai told me my vision in my right eye is now 20/30 and the fuzziness from dead cells is continuing to decrease. He also sees no need for any further visits. Wow, great news!

Dr. Onumar is also happy with my progress. My bloodwork results were good, and I am finished with antibiotics. That means no more daily visits to any hospital! Yea!!

I did ask about 2 concerns. This week I began with the "red dot disease" (my name for it:). The REACH team first had this condition--little red dots all over their bodies. Well, the same thing happened to me, only mine started itching a bit. My doctor gave me antihistamines to help with that, thinking it might be an allergic reaction to being on antibiotics so long.

The second issue was my left knee,which was giving me pain. Dr. Onumar told me to start taking Arcoxia again, the pain medicine that my rheumatologist had prescribed. If it's not better in the next couple days, she wants to see me again. But I am not planning on that.:)

In two weeks, I will again see Dr. Onumar and also my cardiologist, Dr. Apichai. I am still taking some meds prescribed by my cardiologist. But overall, I am feeling much better than 6 weeks ago when I first was admitted to the hospital. PTL!
