Hi Everyone,
I'm back in the land of the living again... somewhat.
I fired my ENT last week. That alone made me feel much better. I actually said the words too if you can believe it... you're fired. Woo hoo! I know it was probably rude of me to say it, but as i was sitting there in his office, still feeling like crap after all this time, blurry vision and all, and listening to him babble on and on about absolutely nothing, i just kind of lost my mind. I was at the very end of my rope at this point, dangling from the very tiniest of threads. Temporary insanity is my plea. LOL. But when you think about it, i was paying the man to do a job... and he just wasn't doing it.
This kid has bothered me from the first day i stepped foot into his office. Everything he's told me to do (or not to do) seems to contradict common sense. He's very young, has a relatively new practice, and oh, how he loves to spend my insurance company's money. With a half dozen x-rays and CT scans, no wonder i'm having vision problems... my eyes have been nuked so much they're probably about hard-boiled by now
Anyway... after five months of tests, a thousand bucks out of my pocket, and a surgery no less... he told me we had to start all over again from scratch, have more CT scans done, and that i should be prepared to accept the fact that i may never actually be rid of this infection. Bull Puckey! (Did i spell that right?) If i'm going to start all over again from scratch, it's going to be with a different doctor.
I went to see my new PCP (yes i fired my former one of those as well) and he said that my sinuses are so packed full of crap again, he would be surprised if i wasn't having problems with my eyes. It doesn't look like i've had surgery up there at all. He gave me a bunch of free samples of Tequin, which has turned out to be a pretty nasty, but seemingly powerful antibiotic, and i started feeling some drainage almost immediately. And what do you know? A lot of my vision problems are beginning to subside
Oh, and i fired my eye doctor as well... the one that gave me the staph infection. I've already seen a new one and got an intensive exam. I was relieved to find that there is nothing physically wrong with my eyes, and he also specifically checked to see if anything may have been damaged during the surgery. I also provided him with a copy of my MRI. His final diagnosis was that my vision problems are most probably related to a severe infection and inflamation of my sinuses. Hmmmm. You don't say?
It's been a pretty good week, all in all. I feel like Donald Trump on that new show of his... the one where he gets to say 'you're fired'? It feels pretty good
Ya know, one of my favorite lines from a movie ever, is the one that Morgan Freeman says in the Shawshank Redemption... "Get busy living, or get busy dying". I just love that! I only wish there were more instructions as to how to go about that.
Thanks for all your help and support,
Jim

! One is when someone is late. I get irked if it is an accident but if someone is constantly late they will definatly hear from me. MY other and most important irk is if someone is incompetent. My philosophy is if you get paid to do a job that is what you are there for and that is what you are supposed to do. I don't care how sick I am or what kind of day I'm having I get up there and do the job to the best of my ability. I do understand mistakes happen no one is perfect . Just don't mess up because you have a chip on your shoulder or because you think your better than someone else (prior cardiologist).
Luckily, I've avoided sinus problems so far this winter.
