Appointments

The last two days have seen us catching up with three of our very best friends; Matthew's Opthalmologist, Matthew's Optometrist and Matthew's Rheumatologist. We also threw in an appointment with our local GP for good measure. I would hate for them to feel neglected.

Anyway, the results are in:

Opthalmologist
Left eye - cataract stable. Surgery avoided for at least another 8 weeks.
Right eye - inflammation & retinal swelling stable.
General sight - 6/12 Right eye, 6/6 Left eye.
No change in medication.
Follow up 8 weeks.

Optometrist
Contact Lens - fits perfectly. Many pats on his own back for being such a clever Optom. (insert eye rolling here). Dramas associated with inserting lens are fault of mother apparently. Note to self - must work on insertion technique.
Follow up 6 months.

Rheumatologist
Joints - wonderful!! No sign of swelling, warmth or inflammation in any joint. Almost full range of movement regained in knees/ankles. Naproxyn dose halved, Methotrexate dose reduced to 10mg per week.
Follow up 4 months.
