I truly want to thank everyone for their prayers and support. As you know, I had my fifth eye surgery on February 11. I must say I have had better days. As it turned out, it was quite traumatic because I had three hours of surgery in the morning under general anesthesia and then three more hours of surgery late in the afternoon without anesthesia or drugs. (He did put some eyedrops in). Anyway, it was a long and ugly day for me and my husband and the doctor; but I am thrilled to report that my sight is ever so much better. I can walk around my house without my glasses on for the first time in five years and I see a single image if I stare straight ahead! This may not sound like much, but it is a huge break-through for me. I cannot read yet using both eyes, but I see the surgeon in a couple more weeks and we will then decide what the next step is. I personally am thrilled that neither my doctor nor I gave up before this last surgery or I would not be where I am today. Moral of my story: Never give
up hope and don’t give up until you are satisfied with results! There is progress being made every day in the treatment of Graves’ Diseased Eyes and there are doctors willing to travel that road with you. I have not reached the end of that very long road yet; but am quite happy to be where I am, I happen to be alot further than I was three weeks ago! If anyone out there needs some encouragement, please write to me. It is a very positive story! I can do the computer, one-eyed as it were, and will start posting again. Some very interesting topics have been discussed lately. I thank you all for being there and wish good things for every one of you! Jules
