Well my vision is still alittle blurry so any typing errors apoliges!
You could knock me over with a feather as I was shocked at what i was told....there I was drops in the bad eye to enlarge whats left of the flippin pupil.....hmmmmm said the Doc....I need to put drops in your right eye...oh no said I, I wanted to go shopping!!
Drops after drops ....hmmmmm there where lots of hmmms from the Doc.......ots of lights and blue lights and other lights.....I am just going to put a special contact lens in your good eye..OH NO you not! I am not happy with you doing that, I only have one good eye and if its scratched I'm done for.....(she had already nearly poked my eye out anyway...I was getting nervous)....Look (nice) Dr just tell me your findings....well I need to see you again in a month, you have Glaucoma in both eyes!...well stone the crows! I had not gien glaucoma a thought, with the cataract changing colour in my bad eye......and the pressure I could feel with the pain I thought hey ho the eye will probably be removed this time....nope not going to touch it, it is too far gone and if I can live with it, best option is to leave well alone. Its not a pleasant operation having the eye out she says......well heck no I imagine it isn't. I can live with the bad eye (I thought there might have been something nasty lurking behind the eye - so breathed a sigh of relief!) it's my good eye I am worried about! We will run more tests next month and we must put the special lens in the eye.....oh no...not a coward but the tought of her messing abut with my eye again does not bode well for one's nervous system.
Anyway there it is folks Glaucoma...I will not let it rule my life...caught early enough blindess can be prevented.... I will prevail!!
Thank you all so much for your kind words and prayers.......I adore you all for the gesture.
