I hope someone can be there on Tuesday with you for handholding and general support. Is it an out patient procedure? <BR/><BR/>I am holding you in my thoughts, esp. on Tuesday, as you take yet another wild ride on life's merry-go-round. Yeah, it's definitely time for a tune change.Loracshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663522940472382507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-1154209799166039732006-07-29T17:49:00.000-04:002006-07-29T17:49:00.000-04:00Yikes.Well... it's better to do what you can whil...Yikes.<BR/><BR/>Well... it's better to do what you can while you still have vision. For most of my life, my grandmother was blind. Hers was different, gradual, she saw me as a baby and then that was pretty much it. Treatments changed, she had surgeries later, but they didn't help because it was too late.<BR/><BR/>It totally sucks, but I'm all for attacking it now with whatever vengeance (aka meds/treatments, scary or no) you can manage.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168243108016358137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-1154137997111848222006-07-28T21:53:00.000-04:002006-07-28T21:53:00.000-04:00Man.This sucks.I am so sorry.*big hug*I was thinki...Man.<BR/><BR/>This <EM>sucks</EM>.<BR/><BR/>I am so sorry.<BR/><BR/>*big hug*<BR/><BR/>I was thinking of trying to find a support group online, but you never posted the name of your illness. I googled the symptoms, but <A HREF="http://www.mcg.edu/news/2005NewsRel/Ambati060105.html" REL="nofollow">this article</A> lists two different things: wet macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

There is not one thing I can say about any of this that will lift the nightmarish aspects of any of it. Once you <I>do</I> feel a little better, and I do believe you will, you need some flight of fancy--something that gives you as much joy as say, a Thomas Dolby concert.Washington Cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892459114050731786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-1154122827426002052006-07-28T17:40:00.000-04:002006-07-28T17:40:00.000-04:00Well, crap.

And we your blog fans and friends don't want things to keep getting worse for you with each successive post either.<BR/><BR/>For whatever it's worth, please know that there are a bunch of people out here in the Internet-ether, pulling for your success all the way, and looking forward to reading about your progress and improvement with this.<BR/><BR/>I guess that really can't be all that much help under the circumstances, but it's all I've got to offer. Sorry that eloquence so often fails me, and very sorry to hear that you have to go through this.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you the very best of success with this treatment.radiocynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11213662135162025138noreply@blogger.com
