I had my one month post-op checkup yesterday. My left eye is good to go.

They sent me down to the lady who schedules the Cataract OR. The delightful Miss Sally (not her real name) looked at her schedule and said 7.21.2014 was the first open date that came up but it looked like there may be an opening on 7.3.2014. She was unable to book the 7.3.2014 date but said she would keep trying and would call me back. No phone call yet but I have my fingers crossed.

If I do get a 7.3 op date I'll need to go to the West Roxbury clinic for my day after checkup as the Jamaica Plain facility is closed on 7.4.

If I don't get the 7.3 date I'll need to go thru pre-op testing again as that test is good for only 60 days.

THANK YOU VA!!1!
