new eyedrop

I got a prescription for xalatan today, for my left eye only. My eye doctor didn't think the pressure was all that impressively high, but he could see that I didn't want to wait around so he gave me the prescription. This medication sometimes causes eye color to darken over time, but my other doctor (from Boston) told me that that usually happens after 6-18 months on it, and I will probably use it for maybe 3 months while I'm taking taxol, so it shouldn't happen in the short time I'm on it. (It's also only in one eye......)

This was very reassuring to me to hear. You would think that in the scheme of things I would let go of my eye color, but I find that I am unwilling to do that. I feel fine about being bald, though I did love my hair (in fact, no wig tempts me because my hair was so much better than almost all the other hair I've seen) and I seem to be all right with the thought of losing the right breast, too, under the circumstances. But my eyes are green!
