One of my new big pet peeves
Disclaimer* I really do try hard to not allow myself be bothered by things.
I just remembered that I didn't complete the registration for my appointment with a retina specialist today. They had sent me a link on my phone. I started to go through the process, but, damn it, it was too difficult to go through the entire thing on my phone because my vision has declined. I was already a bit emotional about the possibility of going blind. I decided I needed to get back to it later. Well, of course the link is no longer valid. So now I need to wait until the office opens and ask them to email me a link, rather than text it to me. How can they not know that it can be difficult for someone who has vision problems?
Last week when I went to the ophthalmologist, the receptionist handed me a form to complete that had no larger than 8 point font. Excuse my language, but WTF???? I had just gotten the news that my macular degeneration had gone from dry to partially wet, so my state of mind wasn't great. It took a lot for me to maintain politeness, but I did.
Anyway, all I have to say is GRRRRRRR!

And thank you. 
Sometimes I think they just set us up to fail as some sort of sick joke.
I'm always worried that I'll come across as sort of snarky. When I'm irritated it usually can be heard in my tone, so I tend to bite my tongue until I can modulate better. 
An ophthalmologist’s office would take it into consideration that their patients may have trouble with their vision when demanding these itsy bitsy tedious forms be filled out.
And that a patient such as yourself might be rattled about a diagnosis. I am beyond tired of uncaring robotic medical office personnel.
I hear ya. Wishing you all the best. 
It’s awful the way some people treat servers and cashiers. Your ex husband set a good example of how not to behave.
In medical settings, you really have to be your own advocate, I have found. Maybe if enough people complain about the tedious forms, they’ll do something about it.
"So, why can't you?"
Mine was dry in both eyes in January. The opthalmologist I saw before going to this specialist told me that it was wet on the outside and could move toward the center at any time. But the retina specialist said one eye was still dry. I need to go every 4 weeks at first, and the intervals will get longer.
I'm glad you're doing well.
When I finally got through to a real person with the cable company recently, they said I could do this or that via chat. I replied that I couldn't see to text, and that I'm likely going blind, and that they were discriminating against blind people. Turns out all I had to do was throw out the "D" word (discrimination) to get results. I'll do it quicker next time if I have to. I really don't want to be a 'Karen", but I also don't want to be frustrated.
