I returned to see my eye doctor last Monday, June 15th & came home with good news. He was very impressed that the macular hole has continued to remain closed. He was also highly impressed that there was no change in the size of the optic tumor. However, there was some bloody drainage around the lasered area, yet he feels it is 60% healed so far. The floaters I see are a result of the drainage. Unfortunately, although he is impressed, I am still frustrated that the gas bubble size is unchained from my last appointment. That continues to cause me trouble walking into objects below chin level. I also have very bad night vision. This should all get better when the bubble goes away. As for restrictions, he told me there are none. So, I am trying to get out of my house a bit more these days - moving slowly, of course! This whole healing process should take another 1-4 months.
I'm glad to see the days getting sunnier, as I feel I've been living in the dark! Hope everybody enjoyed Father's Day. Looking forward to seeing those of you that will be attending the walk this weekend! Thank you again for all the help with meals, personal assistance for myself & just general care for myself and the kids, especially with my traveling man... I could not have done it without you all.
On another note... the last month has been busy for the family. Tyler graduated 8th grade. Alyssa graduated Kindergarten and performed in her first tap recital. These are both on videotape for me to view when my vision is better!
