Five minute freewrite by @myjob

This is my post for #freewriters Monday prompt coalition hosted by @mariannewest

Well, today did not turn out the way that I thought it would. I went to the eye doctor this morning. After looking at my eye, I only have one that works, he told me that the lens that he put in after removing the cataract has clouding. He said it will take about 1 minute to fix it, I said good, you can do it today, of course not today, I have to make an appointment. After seeing him they lead us to a room with a lady to talk about payment. This lady told us it will be $120.00 for today and $550.00 for the 1-minute laser blast. Talking with this woman more we made a plan to have it done in August after I turn 65 and will be on Medi-Care. She said if we can wait till then our charge would be 200 and change. I forget the exact amount.

After leaving the eye doctor we went to the cheap food store. Twice I felt like I was going to fall down and stopped and leaned on a shelf until I felt better. Then my husband disappeared so I was standing by the cart waiting on him and the next thing I knew I was picking myself off of the floor. I think I scared the lady next to me, she came running over asking if I was alright. I explained to her that yes I was ok and she was like are you sure? Yes, this has been happening. I left the cart there and walked around until I found my husband and got the keys from him so I could go sit in the truck.

The day was not over. I think a coalition between the eye doctor, pain management doctor, and the clinic doctor should be formed. We stopped at the clinic so I could see if the doctor ordered a brain scan for me. They told me that the doctor has an opening in an hour and wants to see me. We came home unloaded the groceries and went back to the clinic.

The doctor wanted my husband to come with me. We both go back to talk to her. I told her how I have been falling and how on Sunday I fell 3 times and once today. I told her that Sunday after falling once I knew I would fall more because sweeping always makes me fall. I turned on my Go-Pro and filmed myself sweeping and yes I fell not once but twice. She watched it and asked me tons of questions, did different tests, and had me smile. She said the left side of my face was a little droopy. She says that I am having TIA strokes. She wanted me to go to the hospital tonight but I told her I will go in the morning, then she says pack enough stuff to stay 3 days. It is going to take that long for all the testing she has ordered. geeeezzzz.
