Argh !!!!!!!!

Comment Published at 14:0914:0925 comments25 comments84 Visits84 VisitsReport

Its ok dont panic..........I'm still smiling

BUT !!!!!!!!

I'm more than a little ticked off right now!!!!!!!

Went back to the eye specialist today, remember that laser surgery where he thought he got about 99% of the damage.............yep you guessed it...............I have to have more done!!!!!!!

So unfair !!!!!!

Its fine, I'll be fine, I'll cope and I'll recover, but................

I just remember how much it hurt last time, I remember crying myself to sleep through the pain, I remember hoping NEVER again..

BUT !!!!!!!!

Here I go again !!!!!!!

I'm just hoping this time that as its only a smaller section, it won't hurt quite so much

Don't know when I'm having it just yet, have to wait for an appointment but they want to get it done within the next month.

The other frustration is that I am longing to stop wearing glasses and put my contacts back in, but they have prescribed me more eye drops as both retinas are still quite swollen, they said I have to take the drops for a minimum of 2 weeks but would recommend 4 weeks, well believe it or not..........I'm not stupid..........I may dislike wearing glasses but I am more than happy to continue putting drops in for the whole 4 weeks if its what they are recommending as best for me !!!!!!!

Just a bit gutted really, I went into work today, all laughing saying, YAY tomorrow I should be in my lenses and celebrating this whole chapter is over!!!!!!!! Now I have to say there are a few extra pages yet..............

Big Sigh..............

Re: Argh !!!!!!!!

Oh sweetie - I'm so sorry I've just caught up on nearly a month of your blogs.  I've been caught up in my own little wedding planning world, when you have been having the most nasty time!!!  I feel so terribly for you.  I know you're strong and brave and can cope with this, but I so wish you didn't have to...  *big hugs* coming your way.

Hope by the time you read this the worst is out of the way and you're able to look forward (no pun intended!) to much better times.

Love ya!!

Re: Argh !!!!!!!!

Thankyou I hope so too

Did your SIL have the laser surgery to perfect vision to stop wearing glasses/contacts, only my SIL wants to have that but my troubles have put her off, I have told her its a completely different procedure but she is quite obviously hesitant after hearing my story LOL Would be great to reassure her that the laser surgery for improving eyesight is not the painful kind !!

I'm your mum so I know you always want things to be right  at once but I'm sure this next lot won't be as bad as when they did the ninety nine per cent, but of course I am still sorry you have to have more treatment

Lots of love Mum

Re: Argh !!!!!!!!

Thanks Marg

Should have expected it really, they did say last time they only got 99% would be just my luck that the 1% they missed would be the important bit !!!!!

I'm just hoping it won't be so painful this time

Oh, that's pretty disappointing. Still, at least he thinks he can still fix you. Lets hope it all comes thru quickly and that THIS time it's relatively painless. That would be something!

Re: Argh !!!!!!!!

I know !!!!

He did say its because he wants to be completely thorough because I am a high risk of the right eye retina tearing or becoming detached like the left, which I definitely don't want so I can see its best to get completely sorted now

Oh dear. Nothing is ever easy is it matey. But like you said, you'll get through it and you'll be stronger for it in the end as well. Fingers crossed the next laser surgery is kinder to you.

I'm hoping too that this time seeing its only a small area, will be nowhere near as painful as last time

Poor Helen.  Not the news you wanted.  Sorry to hear that you have to go through that again and that things aren't healing as quickly as you'd like.  Very disappointing.  I hope it can be done fairly quickly and painlessly for you.  Hugs.

Re: Argh !!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear this,how horribly frustrating, just one more hurdle then another and another. An arm load of vibes to help you get through this round and hope that this is the last "hurdle" for you to face.

Fingers crossed your hopes are realised and this time it is different pain wise and you are back in contacts asap.

I am with you, I don't get why people would risk two weeks of drops when four is the recommended time !!!!!!!! However some people obviously play dice with their sight, if thats what they are inferring, brrr, makes one shiver at the thought.

Many best wishes. Love Winnie.xxxx

Re: Argh !!!!!!!!

Thanks Winnie

I can't imagine why people would not strictly follow professional advice either, especially with something so valuable as sight !!!!! It would never enter my head to think at least I did the drops for two weeks, that'll do !!!!!!!!!! Dumb !!!!!!!
