He'll see you tomorrow

Bad things always seem to happen on weekends when the co-pay is double. A black spot had inexplicably developed in one eye.

I called my health-care provider and was given an appointment with an eye doctor for Wednesday. It didn't hurt, and I pretended that my vision was returning to normal.

On Monday I realized my vision definitely wasn't improving, it was getting worse. I called my health-care service again and said I couldn't wait until Wednesday, that I was losing my sight.

I was given an appointment on the morrow with an ophthalmologist, not an optometrist as formerly scheduled. Most ominously the advice nurse shortly called me back and advised me not to eat or drink anything after midnight.
