Saturday morning, I lost all vision in my right eye

 It was a surprising thing. I was at the bathroom mirror, putting in a hearing aid, when right side vision disappeared. Poof! Gone. Things were not black, just an impenetrable gray haze eliminating all sight from the right side.

My wife drove me to Lakewood Ranch Medical Center. The ER people quickly went to work. Sudden loss of sight in one eye can be indication of a stroke. CT scan, EEG and some other tests did not indicate a stroke. Doctors decided a small clot caused ocular occlusion. I spent Saturday night in the hospital and was released Sunday afternoon. Doctors decided the event was not a neurological problem, but an eye problem. I passed all the short term memory tests. Yea. About 50 percent of vision has returned in my right eye.

Having Medicare and Tricare for Life is a good thing.
