George, it does look as if Jimmie's eye doctor made a wrong diagnosis. He has had none of the symptoms which you described, for one thing. So as of now, 2 other eye doctors I called, plus our son-in-law (radiologist), plus the Internet, are all pointing to TIAs, or mini-strokes. All they are asking of Jim is to have an ultra-sound of his carotid artery on the left side of his neck, and please start taking an aspirin a day. He will not do either one. Doesn't believe in doctors or medications. He says there's nothing wrong with him. At this point, I answered him by saying ok, write me a note from Heaven saying that you got there safely.
