Puzzle special

"I often hold your hand,
but I have no hand with which to hold.
I often sleep in summer,
but I'll do my best when it gets cold.
I often lose my mate,
but I feel no sorrow, truth be told."

I went to the optometrist today.
And apparently, my eyesight has not gotten too much worse.
So that's okay.
But she saw something on my retina that was suspicious.
So she put in eyedrops that dilated my pupils so that she could see better.
And it was still suspicious.
She got a second opinion.
That lady agreed that there might be something wrong with it, and that the problem could range from nothing to a tear in the retina.

Went to retina specialist.
Specialist told me that it was a unusual but natural discolouration that was nothing to worry about but he wanted to be sure so I had to wait for a second opinion.
-Half an hour later-
That lady agreed that there was nothing wrong.

O.o that used up a few hours.
