the process of moving. She said that was fine too. I thought ok, but was
again shocked.

* (Special Note) I’m not sure if she understood what moving meant, but when I said
moving, I meant a 2-bedroom apartment and then a 10x30 storage shed full of
stuff. Was that normal activity? Nevertheless, I had to get it done and she didn’t
mention anything to be concerned about. I also don’t know if it would have mattered
that I had to do all that moving mostly by myself, with some help from my 78-year-old
mother. As I write this I cringe. It was so much work, and it was blazing hot! I even got
heat stroke doing it. How I got all that done, while having Hot Laser Treatment the day
before is unbelievable. I still can’t believe. Mom was there with me every step of the
way. She's my angel.

The laser was done. Mom and I started heading back from Kaiser SF to San
Ramon, CA. She drove. I was exhausted, whipped out and in a daze from
everything that had happened. I needed to call Jay and give him an update
on the Hot Laser Treatment and how it went. I had text him earlier that day to
let him know what had transpired. I knew he was anxious to hear how things
had went.

Jay answered the phone. He asked me how I was doing. I told him I was
fine, though I had a headache. The stress was overwhelming. I was on
major overload. He asked how was I seeing and at that moment, I hadn’t
really analyzed my vision. So I started looking around to see how things
looked.

When both eyes were opened, I couldn’t really tell the vision loss, which was
good. When I closed my left eye, I could see the blind spot Dr. Phan was
talking about. It was different then I had expected. I assumed the area would
be black, but it was more grayish.

If you’ve ever worked with Photoshop or a program like that and you have a
picture your working with, that picture is made up of tiny little dots
(color). With Photoshop, you can click on any of those dots (pixels) and
change or omit color. Now image in the lower left quadrant of that picture you
remove the actual colors from that section and replaced them with the color
gray. It’s not a solid gray but more of a filtered gray. The picture below will
give you an idea.
