Another Day At The Office

I've been noticing this grey spot right in the center of my vision in my left eye. I didn't think much about it since my eye Dr. mentioned I had floaters.  I knew when my atrial fib was acting up sometimes the vision in that eye got a sort of aura when I tried to look at things.

Well since it's been annoying me for a week, I went back to the Dr today.. And received not so good news.
It seems I have a Retinal Occlusion in that eye. So he checked the carotid arteries in my neck and all appeared normal. so he's guessing a possible blood clot broke loose and invariably settled in my eye.

Great... but just another medical issue to add to my "Medical Resume"  The good thing is that I can still see peripherally which means my eye is getting oxygen -just not enough at the moment. There is this annoying oval/egg shape dark spot direct center of my eye. Which may or may  not go away..

No, I'm not happy about it. But after all I've been through this is just another day at the office.. Tomorrow will be busier I'm sure once we get the Retinal specialist, my cardiologist and Shands in the picture.

Now to warn a few Dr's what to expect tomorrow!!
