I have a doctor’s appointment on Monday. I am dreading it like crazy too. I’m seeing a cornea specialist to decide if I need a corneal EDTA chelation operation.
I have been taking eye drops as long as I can remember and over time these eye drops have formed calcium deposits on top of both of my corneas. This is called band keratopathy. And i’m nervous because chelation involves using acid to dissolve the calcium while using a small blade to scrape off whatever’s left. This all happens under anesthetic of course, but it still sounds awful, and it definitely has risks. I guess i’m just really nervous. I hate this part of my life so much. I really wish I could just shrink and hide myself from the world. But I can’t.
