AWAKE.........

, you hit the nail on the head, it doesn't take much to tip any of us over the edge at times, and yes, he is really worried about me, thank you xxx

Oh no , you have so much to contend with. Big hugs xxx

Thank you LondonLass. DH has been to get some porridge pots. I already take my own cranberry drink and Cham tea. Great idea. Had a good lie down, so should be OK now. Xxx. 

Hi Cathy .  

My maternal  grandmother had glaucoma and cataracts, my mum had cataracts, had one implant and was taking medication to prevent glaucoma.

My mum’s half sisters all had cataracts ( mum was adopted). 

In my forties,  I started developing a cataract which was replaced by an implant, then the other eye developed one too, ditto.

Both needed laser treatment afterwards to remove a build up of cells, which is fairly common. 

I had an appointment with Optometrist last week (. 6 months check up in case of Mets). 

She referred me to eye hospital as I have another build up of cells in left eye and she couldn’t see the back of eye. Left eye is one with Asteroid Hylosis and bump on vein.

The right eye I have 20/20 vision luckily. 

So, I return to see her 2 weeks  following eye laser appointment.

Then I may be referred for eye op to replace gel with artificial gel. Now I’m on anti coagulant daily injections not sure what will happen? I was to have had eye op Feb this year but was diagnosed with SBC in Jan  

Postive News things moving on the medical retirement front. My Unison rep rang me yesterday to say that she had put a strong complaint through to the head of Occupational Heath at the length of time it’s taking ( started application in July) and also the number of GPs who had to sign my health report. She thought it was at second GP stage when it’s still on first! OH GP Secretary emailed me to say that my GP has been contacted now. Hopefully it will be finished before end of Jan.

Hi glad you have your date and it shows how friends don't really understand though I'm sure mean well .I have to confess I have to have an endoscopy throat camera. Which in scared of. I got appointment for Christmas Eve and I have changed it to January .I would love to get it over but sedation and feeling groggy Christmas Eve no !!!
