I really enjoyed the story that Lori arranged to have my name in. The tale forced me to imagine myself very different than I have been in life. Read it and you will see what I mean. Yesterday was a big day for us: my first assessment by a second glaucoma surgeon. He is not convinced that the current field tests can be trusted as solely representing the glaucoma because the post-surgical cataract is also playing a part in worsening results. Plus, under a lot of glop that was causing terrible pain by pressing on the bleb he found a stitch that was accidentally left in by the MA surgeon eight months ago. It has been scratching my eyeball for all this time and causing the glop buildup. Luckily, I did not get infected. This second surgeon was able to get that stitch out and my eye now is the most comfy it has been in ages. For a month we will be trying an added med. Then in a month I will be reassessed to see if I need a filtering bleb revision, a cataract removal, or both as well. Lori has been a rock while we go through this. [Posted in FML 8041]
