Ongoing eye issues-UPDATE#14

[Freedom]

Jimini crickets, Ellie! Prayers from RI.

So right now are you wearing any glasses? For the eye that the glasses were good, can't they give you anything on a temp basis? This in itself must be annoying.

A businesswoman here in town had the "bad" MD. She had everything supersized on her computer monitor, including an extra monitor hooked up to her laptop for a bigger viewing area.

I saw her last fall and she had had cataract surgery. Neither she nor the doctors know how it happened - but her MD was gone!

Keep the faythe, as Mary would say...it ain't over yet!

No Sandie - not wearing any glasses right now. The good eye is good enough to get by with, and the other eye is fuzzy and blurry, so they really compete with each other if you can imagine how that feels. Kinda like I smeared vaseline on the bad one and that's the kind of vision I'm getting there. It just feels odd to be viewing everything with two totally different eyes.

DUH - well of course it's two totally different eyes - but you know what I mean.............

Oh Ellie, you sure have my prayers and good thoughts! I am losing my sight too but from diabetic retinopathy ( even though I have pretty good control of my blood sugar). I keep getting injections in my eyes to reduce the inflammation and laser treatments to seal off what blood vessels they can. I have had several angiographies which are not at all uncomfortable so no need to worry! ( They do make make your skin and your pee a little yellow for a day or two, lol). Still non of the procedures are painful so that is good!

I will be thinking of you!

I'm just catching this now, I was taken by surprise to say the least. Have to agree that that kind of news is something you don't need but don't lose hope. My uncle has had md for 4 yrs now and he goes in on a regular schedule to have shots in his eyes, so far he sees just as well as he did, drives and the md has not progressed. Another aquaintance also has it and takes shots also and he's doing great. The fear of losing their licence was depressing to both but both are driving and no trouble at all. Don't buy trouble just yet, relax and try to think positive, I know how easy it is to say this and I know hard it is to put it to practice and not be nervous but I'm praying that things will work out great Pom. You have a way of kicking butt when trouble strikes, you can do it again

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

Thanks everyone! I'm not going to stress over it - no sense in spazzing and getting upset over something I have no control over, nor of that which I can't change. It is what it is - whatever "it" turns out to be.

Prayers, positive thoughts, good energies to you...

You have a great attitude! God bless.

Hoping for the best! As you said...ain't no sense in worrying about that which you cannot control.
