My hero & London

Just had a check-up with my eye surgeon. He’s happy that he’s done the best he could do for me over the last 16 months. I still can’t see great, but at least I didn’t lose the sight in that eye completely so should be very grateful for that. Gee it’s been through hell that eye (3 retinal detachments, 1 cataract and 1 secondary cataract). The dryness is much better with the punctual plugs he inserted a while ago. It’s so much more comfortable for me, but is why I always look like I’m crying :) Sadly though, the blind spot I have due to Optic Neuritis with my MS will never go away, and if anything will only get worse (this is why I confuse people in bars and restaurants with rearranging seating with friends so that I can see them!). If you’re to my right hand side please don’t think I’m ignoring you, I just can’t see you! On stage with Bis I may have to go to the other side of the stage now so I can see the guys! (summer festival in UK be nice?!)

He said my other eye has a very slight cataract, and more prone to another retinal detachment than my bad eye now - but no point in worrying about it. So, onwards and upwards, and fingers crossed things don’t get worse. I don’t have anymore check-ups now, and just to get in touch if I need him. He’s been such a hero to me and I’ll never forget it. I’ll miss him checking in on me! He rules!
