In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about watching the Wimbledon Men’s Finals and Euro 2020 and what I missed seeing in each. I also talk about my visit to my retina specialist, Dr. Garg.
Watching Sports On TV
I love watching sports and soccer is one of my favorites. I watch the English Premier League games all season long, and even some Bundesliga matches. My favorites are the soccer tournaments like Champions League, Euro, and the World Cup. There are the best of the best players involved in those games.
Major Tennis tournaments On Radio
With Euro 2020 and the Men’s Final at Wimbledon on the same day, I knew it was going to be a good day of sports on TV. I hadn’t watched tennis in a while, so watching that I realized that I was missing a lot. It made me wonder if the major tournaments were also available on radio. There, it would be easier for me to follow.
Trouble Watching Penalties In Euro 2020
Soccer, on the other hand, was something I watch often. The one big difference is Premier League games don’t end with penalties like Euro or the World Cup does. Watching the penalties by England and Italy, I had to wait for Eliz, the game announcers, or crowd reaction to know the result of most of the shots.
My Retina Specialist Appointment
Between having trouble with the sports and some other issues I’ve been having, I was looking forward to my visit to Dr. Garg, my retina specialist. I’ve been worried that maybe I was having some sort of problem with it, like I had back in 2017 when it detached. Spoiler alert, it’s not my retina.
Which Eye Specialist Should I See Most Frequently
Dr. Garg told me things looked good and that he was the least important of all my eye specialists. He told me the specialist I should see on a regular basis is Dr. Pro, my glaucoma specialist. When the eye is damaged from glaucoma, it can’t be fixed.
I’ll let you know in a couple of weeks how I made out.
Just Go To An Ophthalmologist
At my most recent retina checkup on 15 July 2021.
After visiting my retina specialist, and hearing from one of Eliz’s friends about seeing floaters and her hesitating to go to an ophthalmologist for a check-up, I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to just go. Maybe it will turn out to be nothing, but what if you woke up one morning and couldn’t see?
