Busy day today at the VA ...

[SBA]

Whereas me and dog 'Chance' were on our way to the C&D Burger Shoppe this mornin for the usual coffee & B/S session with the natives, and enroute my right eyeball went blind for about 20-minutes Anyhoo, I already had a scheduled appointment at the VA Eye Clinic, so the cutie lady Doc done a complete eyeball innards photo job and scheduled me for a carroted artery scan next week. The carrot artery feeds the blood to the brain (which may account for my posts here ) and to the eyeballs as well. Anyway, as usual, I was impressed with the great care from good doctors at the VA. Thank y'all taxpayers

good luck to your vision.

That would have scared the crap out of me! Good luck/wishes? on the scan.

The VA doctor referred to my sudden and short vision loss as an 'ocular migraine' , so I looked it up ...

I didn't have any headaches, and never do, so it ought to turn out not too serious. The upcoming carrotted artery scan should pinpoint the problem. They can use a 'roto-rooter' on cleaning out the artery, and sometimes put in a 'stent' thingie to keep it open in the bunged-up spots. Should be fun
