Making the Switch
These last few weeks have been pretty hectic with doctors' appointments, so it's probably time for another update. I'm in the process of transferring my care to UT Southwestern, so I've had a lot of appointments recently and will have several more in the near future. Regarding my eyes, I'm healing nicely after the cataract surgery, and I see my ophthalmologist again next week for another follow-up. I'm hoping to schedule the left eye surgery for winter break to avoid having to take more time off of work. I also met with a vascular surgeon at UTSW for evaluation for a PD catheter. I'll be having that done in 2 weeks. It should be a one-day laparoscopic procedure, and I should be able to go home from the hospital the same day. However, I will probably be sore for several days afterwards, so I'm taking a couple of days off of work to allow time to recoup. After the catheter is inserted, I'll be going to a 4-5 hour training and clinic session...
