HEY....HEY...HEY.... It's good to be back....WELL almost.....in case some of you were wondering why I took a leave of absence from LP.....let me explain......at the end of may I was having trouble with my vision....like things were distorted and my vision was blurry.....so I went to my eye doctor to find out what was wrong....well I couldn't even see that big letter "E".....on the eye chart and it scared the heck out of me......come to find out I had a hole in my right eye....Yeah.....I know hard to believe it...RIGHT.....what I had was called a S/P MACULAR HOLE.....which means the Gel in your eye seperates from the Retina.....I was in stage 3 which required surgery.....If I had seen the signs sooner they could have just gave me an injection ...but I didn't catch it sooner....it is more common in females and it HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR HEALTH....IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS...so if you see changes in your vision get to the EYE DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY......I had surgery on June 10th and so far it was a success and the hole is now closed up....but I have a Gas Bubble in my eye from the surgery to get the Gel to attach to the RETINA.....so it still is hard for me to read and type until the bubble goes away... right now it is partly blocking my vision to be able to read or type but it is moving slowly down from the top of my eye....so I can't stay on the computer very long but I will try and jump on here from time to time....
Also when I had the eye exam they saw a small cateract and the down side of this surgery is that it will make the cateract grow faster....so within the next year I will probably have to have that removed...which is a small price to pay to not have my vision...and the plus side of this surgery is that my vision could come back better than before...which is good to hear also..
if you want to know more about this just google "MACULAR HOLE".....
It's good to be able to come on LP...and WTG to all you winners lately...you have all been doing a great job with the numbers from what I could read...
I want to thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts and prayers while I was going through this....I have to admit I was scared but your prayers and the Good Lord brought me through it.....I could live with any other medical problems but when it comes to your eyes you really don't want to play around with them....and I am thankful that I caught this when I did..and I am on the road to recovery..
JOJO...it's good to hear everything went well with your medical issue....and to see you back here on LP...
Looking forward to being on LP .....Dee
