eyes... again...
I have know for a while that my eyes have been going down a road that I did not want them to again, after I had surgery 15 months ago I thought I should be good for another 10 years at least... but NO... went to the eye dr yesterday and it looks like my options are surgery again or glasses full time (they have ways with glasses to help that they cannot with contacts <sad face>) but I also have a minor infection so we are clearing that up before we look at what my eyes are really seeing and therefor what the options are... all when I have insurance that pays out NOTHING for glasses and contacts, and nothing for surgery... so it is gonna have to wait somehow anyway... and hopefully I get disability soon, then I can have medicaid and they will do more (not any thing on glasses or contacts but they will help with surgery at least if we decided that was the best option) I am gonna research and have a list of questions for the Dr next visit keeping in mind what he has told us so far. I went to a different Dr cause the other one seemed to blow me off, I think that he felt I was being a pain but I was only being honest and I know my body much better then he knows it from seeing me what a total of 6 times in 4 months or something like that.. But this Dr did all the measuring himself rather then having anther person do it and he spent more time looking at my eyes then any eye Dr has yet so that makes me feel good, he also has a better way with us. he knows the other Dr well and has never heard bad things about him but we just did not click... and I think it was that I knew something was still wrong and he did not believe me so he brushed me off, and I do not like being treated like that. until I started seeing my primary care Dr almost all the Dr's I have seen have done that with at least something I have told them. and sure enough I am right my eyes are doing the same thing they were before and one is starting to do something different also... grrrrr What I have with my eyes is called strabisimus, I have had it from birth. but we thought my first surgery at 9 months was to fix it for good, little did we know that it often needs done again in life and often every 10-15 years... I went 31 years the first time so that I cannot complain about :)
