Physical Concerns

For over a year, I had been having trouble with my eyesight and the ophthalmologist that I consulted in Chestnut Hill had told me that I had glaucoma. He treated it with eye drops of ever-increasing strengths with little or no result. He spoke of having to operate, but seemed reluctant to do anything about it. Finally I consulted with John Shober who was our family doctor and he told me to go to Doctor Adler. Doctor Adler was an elderly man and the leading eye doctor in Philadelphia at that time. When he examined my eyes, he told me that it was important that I have an operation immediately to relieve the pressure in the eyes. He sent me to University of Pennsylvania Hospital where Doctor Shea operated the next day on my right eye and again on my left eye two weeks later. I was in the hospital for a little over a month.
In the same year I was having dental problems and when I got my partial plate, I felt that I was really cracking up. However, it all turned out all right.
