We just got home. What a long day. The heat is incredible once again, and I think that made everyone very testy in the doctor’s waiting room. He was late. I accept this. He usually is. I comfort myself with the knowledge that when I needed surgery he spent 3 + hours operating on me and I have my vision. So I don’t complain when he is running late.
I had an appointment for 10:45. I got in at noon. Several things concern me, the first is that my eye pressure has jumped from 8 to 25!!! I have to stop one of the eye drops, (that could be causing the problem) and I go back in two weeks for a recheck.
The other is that things are just healing slowly. The fog is caused by that, and the pain I continue to have is caused by that too. He explained that after an eye has been operated on as much as this one has (5 times) it heals a little slower each time.
Also it appears that my allergies are also causing problems with the poor eye. A normal eye can wash out the pollen, but it is getting caught in my eye and causing me some trouble.
My retina looks beautiful! And after 10 days we’re less concerned about a detachment. Not that I plan anything like a ride on a roller coaster, but I can get back to life and not worry too much about that.
My vision is still poor, but he told me not to expect it all to be fine so fast. These things take time.
I know, I know, I know. I just am not very patient. I want it to be fixed NOW!
Oh well, at least for now, I don’t have to worry too much. The next hurdle is getting the eye pressure down.

I’m glad to hear it went well! My pressures were high, too, for awhile, but my new eye doc measured the pressure with me sitting back instead of leaning forward and guess what? Lower pressure!
I’m glad the appointment went well. UGH, this time of year and all those pollens are responsible for so much – I hope your eye continues to improve and that the pressure decreases – HUGS! 🙂
I hope you get back to normal soon but he’s right, it will take time…hopefully each day will get betta for you 🙂
While patience is a virture (or so I have heard) it is certainly not mine. I would be antsy as well to just have it be “all fine”. Hang in there and make sure HUBBY pampers you a bit.
