Re: TO Helen EYE DR.

[Guest guest]

OH HELEN my biggest fear is also losing my sight That is why my JOB is history when she said I have cornea scrunching and extreme inflammation GOODBYE was written on the wall. When I gave my notice I included a note from this eye doc. HANG IN THERE I can relate to you so can many others so always write to air your mind. I have had HORRIBLE nightmares about losing my sight It plays on your mind big time. And the other thing is that medical science is making no progress or at least very slow in all these areas. So its not like a cure is around the corner or even 1000000000000000000000 miles down the road sometimes I feel like the dos still just have no clue and I can tell at my visits when I know more than they do and let them know about things or to look up info from dr.

> OH HELEN my biggest fear is also losing my sight

When I started losing my eyesight 4 years ago, I thought it was the

end of the world. But now, I think it's no biggie. my eyesight

varies from20/400 left 20/80 right...to 20/400 left 20/200 right.

I am amazed at how easily I can function with such poor eyesight. I

think it would be harder losing my hearing.

We were asked in a philosophy class in college which one would be the hardest to lose? Your hearing, sight, or ability to speak. I had always thought that the ability to speak would be the biggest nightmare. Fast forward a few years and I have a son with autism which by nature come along with speech problems. I think that is one reason why I worked so hard with so he could talk. Now that kid talks and talks and talks. Oh bother. lol.
