Much Better and Eye Doctor Visit

Yet another good, and by good I mean great day! Feeling healthy, my energy is back, spirits good. It feels like I'm Me again.

Still mostly blind, still dizzy when my head turns left or when things move quickly in front of me. But otherwise I feel great.

We went out to celebrate at Charleston's restaurant. I brought home some key lime pie, one of my favorite desserts.

Tomorrow morning is a return visit with my eye specialist. Another failed treatment, that's 2 so far. So, what next? Really not good treatments and those are pretty much the least harmful. 

......
Okay, saw the eye specialist this morning, did the OCT, rescheduled next appt for November. There is more vision loss in the left eye, but I knew that. Unless something new, wonderful and effective is discovered, we are just monitoring sight loss. I won't touch the class of drugs that I have already tried again. I'm very interested in the microchip implant. As far as I know it is still only for Retinitis Pigmentosa patients. I hope that it will be available to people with other eye diseases soon.

So now I am just focusing on adjusting more to having less sight. Adapting methods of doing things so I can keep living this life that I enjoy so much.

Being back to healthy has made a universe of difference for me. Today I made a huge pot of chili and homemade biscuits with butter and honey for supper. It even feels good just to feel like cooking.

Enough for now.....
