It was time for another checkup at the hospital today.

It went quite well. Most importantly it looks like I’ll get to keep my right eye. Hopefully. The pressure in it is still a little too high, but manageable. So that’s good. We’re going to scale back the drugs a little now and see if it still goes well. Maybe I can get rid of the dizziness then.But we’ll see how that all goes. Another checkup in a week. Tomorrow I have foot therapy. And Thursday cane training. If we manage to not cancel it finally.

I miss summer already. It is too cold now. But that’s the least of my worries anyway.

If Ypu Tolerate This Then Your Plume Will Be Next

Guess who had another unscheuled visit to the hospital today? It is like my home away from home now.

At least this time it went fast and I didn’t have to have IV drops or anything. And uncle Jens was visiting so he kindly drove us there in his car.

I have been feeling quite dizzy all day. I figured it was because of the anti-pressure medication. But the hospital still wanted me to come in for a checkup. It could be a sign that the pressure in the eye was rising again.

But it wasn’t. The pressure was fairly okay. So it’s just the medication. If it gets worse we can call them and get some anti-nausea medicine perhaps. But otherwise I just have to stick it ou.

To be honest, I am not feeling too optimistic though.
I think I will end up losing my right eye. And the central vision on my left eye seems to be getting worse again. I don’t know if it’s the lack of summer sun, the dizziness, the heightened blood sugar levels because of the anti-pressure medication. Or just random. But I may have to stop answering comments again soon. It’s getting difficult. But who knows. It comes and goes. At least I can still use the computer, for now.

I feel a little like I am at the end of the road. But I don’t have much choice but to keep walking. Maybe somewhere beyond the mountains in the distance there is something good waiting. I can’t stay here anyway.

For now it is back to bed. It is sort of a funny feeling when it spins around like that.
