@SueEK. Thanks but I am not OK. A week ago I awoke to find that I could not see well. There was a brown mist over my left eye It got progressivly worse so on Monday of this week I went to see (?) the optician. She put me in front of a machine to take photographs. She then told me that the retinas could not be seen clearly and that I must go to my doctor to arrange for a visit to the hospital with an appointment for the opthalmologist. Getting a face to face visit to the doctor is difficult these days the receptionist gave me an appointment for yesterday at 11.10. I turned up but my doctor did not. I was told that he would telephone me this morning. It is taking me ages to type this.my nose is almost on the keyboard. I was very upset, not to mention angry. Went home and fretted. Took a steak and kidney pie out for dinner but then began to feel unwell so sat down for a while. My dog, Missy, sat on my lap and started to nuzzle my face and whimper. She is acutely aware when I am unwell so I took a reading though I could hardly see the result. It was 27 which translates as 1.5. I immediately had a biscuit and 2 Magdalenas spread with butter and honey. It was only 6.15 but I decided to go to bed. Missy came up with me and unlike her normal procedure she lay down on the pillow next to mine and stayed there all night. At about 3 am she woke me by pawing my shoulder. I took more carbs and went back to sleep. Woke at 6.30. Eyesight worse. I am somewhat frightened at the moment. Waiting on the telephone call.
