I was back at the eye surgeon's office today. I've noticed that my eyes have been more blurry - but hadn't really narrowed down the problem. As they explored what was going on, it became apparent that I was having issues with my "good" eye with similar symptoms to what started out the adventure with my other eye in March.
The doctor suspects it is related to macular edema and is going to do additional testing on Monday to determine if there is fluid "leaking" in my eye. Hmmmm.
He said that it doesn't appear to be a surgical issue. Yay!! Considering how quickly my eye went from "let's watch" to "let's do surgery" last time (less than a week), it does make me a little uneasy.
It's interesting how your perspective changes. Last time we heard news like this, it was jarring. Alarming. This time (and again, no one is saying surgery) our reactions were sort of funny:
Tony said, "At least you're not bald this time." smile emoticon
I said, "I'm not afraid of the recovery. It WAS very relaxing."
I said, "I'm not afraid of the recovery. It WAS very relaxing."
While we aren't worrying about surgery, it is hard to deal with increasing vision problems / blurred vision in both eyes.
So we will wait for Monday and another test.
And in the meantime, life goes on and I will NOT waste the days worrying and wondering. God is in control of this journey and He knows what I need. I am thankful for His joy, for His peace that passes understanding and for His constant presence in our lives!! smile emoticon
