Dear Cyndy,

As I think about yesterday's two letters both confusingly
labeled "July 19", I would like to comment on the apparent
contradiction, that in the first letter I suggested you
withhold permission for an intravitreal injection until
you had obtained a second opinion on the fluorescein angiogram.
Then, in the second letter which I wrote after my conversation
with Peter Lou, I contradict myself, suggesting that if after
questioning him you were persuaded of the intelligence and
conscientiousness of the surgeon, it might be reasonable for
you to give your permission for the intravitreal injection
then and there "to get it over with."

How quickly or how slowly you arrive at your determination
should be left to your untrammeled intuition. The consequent
decision will then be YOUR decision, and whatever the sequel,
YOUR decision will be the right decision for you.

Jochen
