Well, I had to go back to the hospital today for an opinion on my
recently
operated upon eye.


Well, I was hoping you would have a quicker recovery, but still, that's
good
news. We're still sending purrs that your eye will heal completely and
much
sooner than the doctors predict!

Hugs,

CatNipped


Think it will be a long job. Thanks for your purrs.
Like I said, it's not like on the films. *removes eye patch immediately
after operation* I can see, I can see!
Not like me. Nurse removes eye patch next morning. Me "why can't I see?"
Nurse "you have had a retinal haemorrhage?" And why did I have a RH?
Because I had had to fast since the day before and when I woke up I was
offered a sandwich. I was very hungry so I tried to eat it, I couldn't. My
throat was so dry (from the tube being down) that I couldn't swallow. I
chewed and chewed and the bread just wouldn't go down.
It then made me cough. I coughed and coughed and coughed and eventually I
retched (heaved) because I couldn't stop.
That was when the tremendous pain came, that was when I got the retinal
haemorrhage

I can only say that it's stupid to offer someone just out of anaesthesia a
sandwich.

I told the doctor. She said I ought to tell the ward staff that. Excuse
me, I think I might be your job now I've told you.!

Well, I had to go back to the hospital today for an opinion on my recently
operated upon eye.

I won't bore you with how long it was after my appointment time, that I

was
seen. Hours. Anyway, I had my operation on Sept 7. Last week I was in
great pain because the pressure was up. I only found out today how high

it
actually was. No wonder I was in such pain. The normal pressure of the

eye
ranges from 11-21. I was told today that last week mine was 37!!!
I had loads of meds, was sleepy after them, like I said, but the good news
is that today my eye pressure is 19. Still a bit on the high side, but
okay.
I still have some inflammation but not as much. I still can't see

properly,
but apparently, as yet, that's not too much to worry about, as the retinal
haemorrhage has mainly settled to the bottom of the eye in clots, although
there is some blood still in the vitreous humour, that's why things look
sepia.
It will take months, rather than weeks to clear, but I'm hoping for a
reasonable result in the end.

If I was retired, and had a pension, it wouldn't worry me too much. I

need
to work though, for another 12 years. My employers have been quite good,

my
job is still there for when I can go back, and if I am still visionally
impaired they intend to get adaptations so I can manage.
Don't praise them too much, though, they have to. A recent Disability
Discrimination Act has made it much tougher for employers if an existing
previously able-bodied employee becomes disabled "in service" i.e. while
still working for them.

Tweed


Purrs continuing for improvement.

We're still purring for full recovery, even if it takes a little longer
than anticipated.
