I just remember a lot. I had very good experience down there in Boston. They explained to me what's going on with the eye. And since I've had so many surgeries on the eye and everything, because I'm having this blurriness, they didn't want to do any surgery on it. So right now I'm kind of down and depressed about it because I don't know what's going to happen. hoping that I could have surgery, but they said it was risky. I'm getting to a point right now, I'm almost willing to take the risk. I mean, everything's all blurry to me right now, and I know they did a lot of work on the eye when I was down there on Thursday, so it's gonna take a while for the eye to get back to normal, but it's just, I tried everything they did. I know I'm coming down there again sometime in.

When I came to see this cornea specialist I was in outrageous eye pain. [redacted]. When the doctor finally entered the room it was at my appointment time and after I suffered with pain for over an hour. And, along with the doctor, there were 4 other people who came in wit her, who she didn't introduce me to or ask if I minded that they be present. [redacted]
