More tests today (ultrasound doppler carotid artery) and still yet to organise an appointment with my own doctor to bring him up to speed. Trying to make sure that I do not have a risk of a bigger stroke than just the one in the eye. I will start on the aspirin in the morning, but will not take any other new medication until fully checked out.

The emergency department did an great job finding the cause of the eye issue, but I feel were a little hasty in prescribing a treatment without enough testing or understanding of my medical history.

The mental fallout from this will be ongoing too. Still trying to deal with my depressive sides take on this event. It is quite distorted, confronting and disturbing (which is as much as I am willing to say here).

Today is my birthday. It's very simple. Hoping to indulge in a fun and nice way.

So I go back to work on Friday. I talked to my bestie this evening, who works as a surgery scheduler. Asked her what the climate is at work. She said it was stressed. They may cut her hours further or lay her off.

I’ve not missed even one safety huddle since I’ve been out. Our COVID positive cases are on the rise. Our county jumped from 32 to 40 in just a few hours, but they are reporting recovered cases, so that’s a plus.

I spent part of my afternoon on the phone talking to my second in command, walking her through payroll. While I’m relieved that I am negative? The idea that I have to walk back in there in 36 hours terrifies me.

That is all.
