Judy,

I just read that you are having your surgery tomorrow and wanted to wish you the best and to let you know that I will have you in my thoughts. I hope your recovery is a quick one and that we hear from you as soon as you are feeling better.

Patty……the taped books is a wonderful idea. I wish I would have thought of that when I had my surgery since I love to read but had to put it on hold for a while after my surgery due to the double vision problems.

It sounds like you are doing well and have a great attitude….cool!!

So sorry to hear that Steven is having blurry vision. It must be frustrating for him after all that he gone through. Do the doctors think the next surgery will help this problem?

I didn’t have blurred vision post-op but did have some double vision and depth perception problems. It is now one month since my surgery and these problems have decreased but are not totally gone. I notice that if I move my head too quickly from side to side, I get a bit dizzy.

I wish Steven all the best and hope you keep us updated on his progress.

Dolores,

I hope Steven’s surgery will help to correct his vision problems. If you have a chance, keep us posted on his progress.

I feel so badly that he has to undergo another procedure.

Hi everyone,

My name is Cyndi. I had orbital decompression surgery performed on my right eye on February 17th and thought I’d drop by in case I could be of help to anyone who may be scheduled to undergo this procedure.

Like many of you, I was scared and a little apprehensive but at the same time, I was so tired of the pain, pressure and the way that I looked that I couldn’t wait for the surgery date to roll around…..I was like a little kid waiting for Christmas. I know that sounds strange but I think many of you will understand what I mean.

The first night after the surgery was a bit rough so I am glad I stayed in the hospital overnight. I have episodic Cluster Headaches and ended up getting hit about 3 hours post-op with doozie of a headache. I also somehow ended up with a scratched cornea of my left eye due to the protective lens that was inserted to protect my eye during surgery.

I did have double vision and depth perception problems which were worse in the mornings and at night and still have these problems at times during the day but the episodes have dramatically decreased. There is also a tight feeling in my eye when I try to look left to right or up and down but this is also decreasing with time.

Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions and if I can help, I will gladly do so. GED is a frustrating condition but with each other’s support we can help each other.

For those of you who have surgeries scheduled, I send my best wishes to you for a speedy recovery.

I
