It's been awhile, hasn't it. Long enough that Blogger has changed the blog format and being an old fogey, I don't care for the changes.
So many things have happened and blogging just fell by the wayside. The short version is that I finally decided to go ahead with the surgery for my Graves' Eye Disease and had the first surgery on my right eye. It did not go as well as we hoped and my vision still isn't clear. I've had visits with both my orbital surgeon and my retina specialist and both say they think the problems I'm having can be fixed, either with medication or another surgery. To say I have devastated is an understatement. I'm having surgery on my left eye in two days and I doubt I'll be able to get on the computer for quite some time. I wouldn't have the surgery if it weren't dangerous to my optic nerve and eye muscles to leave it alone, plus my right eye is now half the size of my left and I look like a freak.
I needed to update another blog, so thought I'd put a personal update here too, just in case I'm not able to ever come back. Don't you just hate blogs that just end with no explanation? But with any luck, I'll be back by December or January.

And I've missed you. I'm sorry the surgery didn't turn out as well as you would have liked.
ReplyDeleteYou're in my reader so when you post I'll know it.
Have a fabulous day and week. Big hug. ♥
Thanks Sandee!
DeleteOh - we are so sorry to read this ! We are sending prayers for things taking a turn for the better with you ! (And lots of bloggers hate the new Blogger !)
ReplyDeleteTake care and try not to get too discouraged - that in itself is a challenge in this day and age !
Marti: I am so sorry you are having these problems, I hope the next surgery goes perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI hope the medication will help the eye that you had surgery on.
I worked in customer service at the Phillips Eye Institute in Minneapolis once a month when I was working, sometimes people said it took a while to get the blurriness to go away, I hope your blurriness goes away soon.
I will add you to our prayer list.

ReplyDeleteAs I told you - sending prayers.
ReplyDeleteMarti - so glad to see a post from you, even if it isn't good news. Yes, I do start to imagine all sorts of horrible things when I don't see posts from someone .... I will be praying that things improve for you!
ReplyDeleteI hope to see you again here!!! And I agree with the blog changes, I am not fond of them and it is taking some getting used to.
ReplyDeleteI pray your second surgery went better and your vision improves with the first. Take Care!!! And God Bless!!!
Fingers crossed that the second surgery went much smoother than the first and that you are back in December or January.
