After breakfast we got ready, and Karen get here at 9:30 to drive to San Diego for Chris to have his shot in his right eye. It will be his 2nd shot in a series of 4 to stop the Macular Degeneration. Karen drove down I-5 to 52, east to I-15, and then south to Friers Road, east to Vandever, to the Kaiser Clinic there. We were an hour early, so we stopped at a McDonald's for a drink and a rest until time for the appointment at 11. Later at the Clinic, we had just arrived and checked in, and Chris was called to the doctor's quarters. The nurse examined his eyes first, and then the doctor came in, and he took care of the injection. It was supposed to be deadened, but I saw Chris lift one leg, and then jerk, so I knew it was painful. But it was soon over, and we drove back here again, in time for lunch about 1 p.m. Karen didn't stay for lunch; she will call tomorrow to see how things are going. After lunch and a rest, things improved for Chris. I am to put one drop of medication in his eye four times a day for five days. It should be all well by then. In the meantime he seems to see quite well, in spite of a little pain, and he's using the other computer right now.
