I’m going to try to do this one little post. I still have on the dark glasses and can’t see the keys too well BUT I can’t stand the lights with my eyes so dilated. I found out what a retinal occlusion is today....its actually a small stroke to the back of the eye.
They injected dye into my veins so they could see the back of the eye and took a bunch of pictures. The good news is the blurriness in my right eye can be turned around with the injections to the eye about once a month. He said they could do drops but they didn’t do nearly as well as the injections. It scares me to think I will have a needle injected into my eye but I do want to do all possible to correct this situation. He didn’t seem to think I had as much damage as others he’s seen. I get really nervous about that needle though.
My first injection will be on the 12th (next week). I can get this done in Bristol as the Retinal Specialists travel from Bristol, Johnson City (where I went today), Kingsport and Abingdon. I think that will be easier for me and the ones who have to take me. My sweet DIL took me today and Barry said he could take me next time.
I haven’t been able to enjoy the thread too much because of this brightness. Just wanted you all to know the situation. You may say a prayer that I want get too nervous over the needle and can get my eye better. I would appreciate it very much. (((((Hugs)))))
