Wow - where does the time go? It has been nearly a month since I have posted. I'll blame it on distractions....December has a way of distracting. Christmas decorating, shopping, celebrations, family time - you name it - it makes the time fly. It has a way of tiring me out - but I'm not really complaining.
The status of my eye is not great. The week before Christmas, I had an appointment with my cornea specialist. My eye pressure was still high - which tells me the new med is not doing its thing - but I'll find out the final truth next week when I meet with my glaucoma doctor. I have had days when I know the pressure has climbed - when I have that feeling that someone is pushing their thumb through my eye and into my optic nerve. I know some may say it is difficult to actually feel this increased pressure - but after 10 years with glaucoma - I'm pretty confident I know my eye better than anyone. On these days, it can be discouraging for I wonder if it is slowly permanently stealing my vision.
My cornea is hanging in there....very blurry vision in the morning and clearing throughout the day probably to about 20/200. Oh well, I can live with it. The good news: no cornea blistering, tearing or pain.
There is no doubt I have a very sick eye and one that is probably on borrowed time. But I am blessed - for it is only one eye. I am blessed with distractions throughout December and the rest of the year. I am blessed in so many ways.
My plan for the year 2012 - count my blessings - be thankful in everything - choose joy. ICE (and all its complications) is not something I would have chosen to be given - but it is what it is - and I will find the good in it.
More later my friends - and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
