Thanks for the encouraging words! I'm still waiting to hear back from the retina doc. One thing about it, there's no urgent rush to work on it. A bleed is a bleed, and the black spots just sort of lies there, barely moving. Sort of like looking at the world thru a red and black lava lamp.

Fortunately my case is not very bad and I have decided to simply live with it without the injections.
Wish you the best of luck with this DixieGal! My thoughts will be with you! |
Have you ever had a victrectomy? How did that go for you? I had 2 thus far on the left - one to wash out the vitreous and then one to scrape the vitreous loose from the scar tissue that grew into it. Right now, that is my "seeing" eye, and I had not realized how much the scar had re-grown and pulled my dyd out of shape until now, when it is again the "main eye." Everything is in curves and waves, but at least I can see out of it.

I know! I have been feeling stronger and healthier, lost 10 lbs, etc. Then boom, woke up Thurs morning to a terrifying rainbow of colors. (The hemorrhage was very pretty until it turned black.)
