Good news, I can still see some this morning; on emergency stand by to go to Des Moines for the treatment...somewhere between ten and three o'clock. It does not occur very often, I guees, so they can write up the story about it...I just want a 'good' ending to the story. Even Dr Clark said he was going to do homework and read up more about it again...papillitis=latin word for optic nerve swelling. Their pictures of the eye ball showed it all. I loved the words, "treatable'. May you all have a good day...story to be continued.
