I've been out of touch for awhile (in Hawaii on vacation ~ the warm weather was

so wonderful ~ but the shock to my system in returning to the cold has been ~

but still worth it). Anyway, I'm trying to catch up...

To , I hope all goes well with your visit to the hospital ~ and your out

with a brand new looking coat in no time!

To Sue, I hope your visit to the doctor goes well ~ and the problem with your

eye is not related to PA ~ or if it is, that they can give you something to

help..

Best Wishes,

Hi ,

I hope you had a nice vacation in Hawaii!! I bet that is a weather

shock from the warm to the cold!! My friend just come home from

there and brought me the most delicious cookies and candy. Anyhow

I'm glad you are back.

Thanks so much for the thoughtfulness of wishes for me through this

terrible time with my eyes and spine problems, you are a very nice

person. I keep praying that it isn't anything serious and that my

eye sight doesn't get worse-some days are better than others. Thank

God he gave us two eyes. My mother was blind in one eye all her life

and she got along okay. I keep putting off going to an eye Dr. being

so scared that he has bad news for me-I know that can't be good and

need to get it over with.

Thanks again and God Bless you always, Sue in Michigan. P.S. I

missed you!!

Sue, must say, I agree you need to see an eye dr now.

I went in May, got a new prescription for my glasses.

In Sept, I was having trouble again...blurry vision. I went back, she cked me

again. Well, my right eye had decreased in vision by 3 levels. So I needed a new

lense. I asked what would make this happen. She said one of 3 reasons:

just because...fluke of nature so to speak

start of a cataract....but she did not see one

OR

diabetes rearing it's ugly head.

Took me 2 wks to work up the courage to test my blood sugar. When I did, I

started crying ...it was 474. NORMAL is 90-120. My daughter, a nursing

student, freaked out and wanted me to present to a hospital asap. Of course, I

am stubborn, and did not. Instead, I had a Come to Jesus Meeting with myself,

and right there, on Oct 29 2004, my world changed. I test daily, gave up as much

refined sugar as possible, dropped out all soda/pop, etc etc etc. I now attempt

1-3 miles a day on the treadmill...even though some days due to joint pain I

have to move slowly, I still make myself do it.

I am delighted to say, as of last week and ANOTHER trip to the eye Dr, I had to

have both lenses replaced...my eyes were BETTER then the script from last may

due to the lessening of Macular Edema (swelling of the eye caused by high

sugar). ALSO, this a.m. my sugar was a 168. Still too high, but a far cry

better then where I started from.

That eye Dr saved my life.

go! go ! go ! you must be proactive!!!

good luck

Hi Annie,

Thanks so much for your message-I sometimes need that extra " push " to

go and get something else checked out besides my hip, fingers, etc.

I haven't had my eyes tested for about 2 years and back then I didn't

have this eye problem. I guess I get scared to find something else

wrong with me. Thanks again.

God Bless, Sue in Michigan.
