    Ozurdex Floater

    ...had to go back again as no "injector" that day. It feels to me like they are fire fighting after the split appointment saga.

    There is not a right emoji as I wanted to express sympathy for you and thank you for thinking of me. When I first read about this issue it stayed in the back of my mind as I had an Ozurdex injection in July and a checkup in October with the next mid-January. Hope they sort it for you @goodybags .
