That's wonderful news John. Hope in 2 months it's still good if not better.  
I got a letter from my optho today. Had me scared at first. It contained a check for a partial refund of my co-pay that I paid at the first of December. Yay me !!!

Is it because your a type 1 and you've been a diabetic for 33 years. Thanks Ricky | Vitrectomy on 10/2006 and two peripheral bleeders this fall. I suppose I'm high risk for awhile longer. I didn't ask, but I think he wants to watch for any more bleeders. It doesn't cost me anything but inconvenience to see him.
He said great job on the sugars, it will really help 20 years from now. It feels ****ing awesome to know he expects problems down the road |
