Depressed

Went to the optometrist yesterday. My vision is getting worse again, not better.

Had to get glasses for driving.

My eyes are f****d up enough that he called the surgeon to see what to do.

Back on steroid drops for 6 weeks.

New eye drops at night before bed, too.

Oh, and 1000mg of Vitamin C a day. Talk about nasty flashbacks from my childhood. Blech!

If they're not better in 6 weeks, I may have to go do this all over again.

I'm going to be sulking for a while. Don't be offended if you don't hear from me.

MG,
I am so sorry to hear this. When did they start "getting worse"...because they really got better afterwards, no?
My cynical self wants to know...is there going to be a charge for the next round?
I'll be sending you some positive energy--make sure you hold on to it, don't let "them" suck it from you!

I went to the SC/Fla game! I wish I had had reverse Lasick Surgery with resultant blindness- (Not really).

I never want to see, or hear TEBOW- or TIVO or NEMO, or any type of MOJO again. We got our asses kicked!

Have a great Thanksgiving Squeek!!!

Missed ya a lot,

John!!!

Sorry Monkeygirl...if you need cheering up, we can always bitch about the Speaker on the IM and how much she sucks total a**. That tends to cheer me up anyways.

WTF MG~
your the first one I've ever heard of have this problem!
I hope that things get better and you don't have to go through that again. My numb fingers are crossed for you!

You didn't like grabbing your daily dose of Vitamin C and Flintstone's vitamin as we dashed out to catch the bus? That was my favorite part of the day!

Sorry your eyes suck. Get a big 1/2 gallon of chocolate brownie sundae ice cream and make it an early Cheat Day. :) Love you!

Damn- I meantt MG- not Squeek! I sofa King we Tarded!

G'Luck with the eyes- that's one thing when I'm in Assessment AI don't mess with---you say eyes- you are STRAIGHTBACK! I'd rather look (no pun intended) like a fool than to miss something with someones precious eyesight!

Aww...MG-I am sorry you are going through this and I hope it all works out in the end and that your eyes will quickly be on the mend.

Optometrist ? We got opticians.
Hope your deteriorating vision is not down to something too worrying.

Sorry to hear about the trouble with your eyes. I hope you get some good news when you go back.

Hi MonkeyGirl,

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles - I was horrified to hear about the PRK the first time around, because I know about this stuff, and how to fix it without surgery! :-(

www.surgical-eyes.org talks about what happens to many people who have these types of surgery. DON'T go there if it would make you more nervous, just keep in mind you're past the "Everything bad can go wrong" stage now.

www.vision-training.com is my trainer. Leo does workshops all over the world to help people regain their eyesight without glasses, contacts, or surgery.

I've used his techniques personally to come down from worse than 20/400 (much worse in the left eye) to about 20/40 or 20/60 - it took about 6 days, then stupid me got lazy. I'm about to do it all again for about a week (eyes never went back as bad as they were) and finish the problem off for good.

If you have any choice at all, don't go back for more surgery - just do some (painless and cheap) eye exercises instead.

If you'd like more info, you're welcome to email me or call me. My website is www.decisionshypnosis.com and my phone number is 229-227-5880.
