He has macular degeneration, and has been seeing the excellent doctors at the West Texas Retina Consultants Clinic here in Abilene.
They had initially wanted to have him participate in a study , and so, on Monday, David and I went to be with him as they did all kinds of examinations on him to see if he would qualify for the study. THAT took 3 1/2 hours that day. Phew.
They then called him up on Wednesday and told him that because of a heart condition, the doctor decided it would be too risky to put him in the study, but was optimistic that conventional treatment would be promising for the less damaged eye. So we went with him again on Thursday to see the doctor and decided that we would have dinner out after the appointment.
At least I have a menu in my head for next week already :)
