that this freaking ailment is getting expensive?!? granted, i won't have to contend with an operation that would run in the thousands, but still... it adds up.
lessee here...
visit to optometrist $149
two visits to corneal specialist $173
two upcoming visits $126
generic pred forte eye drops $44 (15 ml.)
atropine to dilate pupils $14 (5 ml.)
medro steroid pack $17 (21 pills)
prednisone prescrip. $16 (at least there's 100 tabs)
and the kicker...
blood drawn for 7 separate diagnostic tests $442...gee, i didn't know that two ounces of my blood were worth so much.
i swear, if i see one of those 'priceless' mastercard commercials, it'll cost even more because the TV will have my foot through it.
fuck...it...all
okay, i feel better now.
btw, i've blown $981 so far. it'd be more if the generous eye tech at the office didn't slip me 'real' pred forte sample bottles, which saves me $77 a pop!!!
god, i gotta get a job with benefits. i'm getting too old to pay this kinda shit.
but hey, it IS my eye; i think my vision is worth way more than my $221/oz. blood.
oh yeah, after getting stuck twice on my right arm (thankfully no bruising), i have come to find out that my best blood drawing vein is, in fact, my left hand - IT CRANKS IT OUT.
