I will not be on much the next few days, if at all. I have been having trouble focusing with my left eye so I finally called the Eye Doc today. He sent me to a retina specialist ASAP Turns out that I have a detached retina. There is a tear in the back of the wall which caused the retina to detach. We have surgery scheduled for Tues. In the meantime I am not supposed to be reading, walking or lying on my back. Anything that would cause excessive movement or bouncing of my eye or cause the retina to shift more.
I have a graph to look at 2 or 3 times a day to see if the vision is getting worse. Right now if I cover my right eye and just look with my left it’s like looking at a funhouse mirror reflection, all wavery like. 😀 If it gets worse over the weekend I’m to call and they will take me in for emergency surgery. I’ll probably check in once a day and have my kids read posts to me 😆
“See” everyone in a week or so 😉October 18, 2008 at 12:40 am #496879October 18, 2008 at 12:54 am #736599Wow! Yikes! I hope that all goes well for you!!!
October 18, 2008 at 1:09 am #736600GOOD LUCK!! I’ve known a few people that had this kind of problem, and most have recovered just fine! (The one I can think of off hand that didn’t had some other problems, the detached retina was just icing on the cake so to speak…) You’ll be fine!
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
(although you’re probably not going to get this until you’re all better….Oh well..Best wishes anyhow!!
October 18, 2008 at 1:12 am #736601Good luck and speedy recovery!
October 18, 2008 at 1:21 am #736602Good luck!
October 18, 2008 at 1:23 am #736603Thanks everyone. I just finished my emails and I’g signing off now. 😆
October 18, 2008 at 9:33 am #736604Good luck Khat. Youre in my thoughts, heart and prayers. Im sure all will turn out well.
My mom had eye surgery on her right eye a few months ago and because she just cant sit still, she didnt follow doctors post-op directions and screwed up her retina. Right now however (after a stern doc lecture to boot), she is recovering very well. And, shes way much older than you are!
I know youll be fine but Im sorry youre having to deal with any of this, regardless.
Warm fuzzies, lots of love and hugs xoxo
October 18, 2008 at 1:35 pm #736605Ouch! I’m glad they were able to get you in quickly. Hope the surgery and recovery go quickly and smoothly!
