I have had some quite dramatic days since my last update. Spent a lot of time in the hospital. And had my 4th eye surgery.<\/p>\n
As I wrote on Saturday, I lost all sight on the right eye. And then it started hurting. We went to the hospital and they found that the pressure in the eye was too high. And they got it back down. And then I thought everything was okay. But I’ve been to the hospital every day since. I kept getting more and more pain in the eye. And the treatments were less and less effective. The pressure kept rising. It turned out that some of the oil in my eye had gotten out of place. To the front of the eye I think? In any case it was blocking the natural drainage of th eye. So fluids kept bulding and pressure kept rising. They pumped me full of dioxomosomething medication. And they had me lie down on my stomach. Because oil rises upwards. So turning my head downwards could help the oil rise up, back into it’s proper place. That was the the theory. I don’t know how much it helped. But it did mean that could barely sleep for two nights. Have you tried sleeping on your stomach? With your face straight down into the bed? That is not easy. Especially not when your eye is hurting and watering. It was mpt fim- Hps?ota?s at moght- Dark and almost abandoned. Doctors called in. Amd IV drp?s- my veins are very hard to hit it seems, it always takes several tries. I got one injectuib tgat dudb?t hut a veub, Have yiu ever trued tgat= It hurt. A lot.<\/p>\n
It soon brcame clear that I had to have the oil removed from my eye. So on Wednesday I came in for surgery. I think the anasthesiologists thought for a second that I had already been sedated when they saw me. Barely slept for two days, full of anti-pressure medication that makes you dizzy, and in pain. I was porbably pretty out of it. But the surgery went fine. As alwways I quite enjoyed tje amasthesia. And now I have no more oil in the right eye. They also replaced the lens. One of the reasons that the oil got misplaced was that the cataracts were growing, making the lens expand. So now I have a new lens and no oil. Which pretty much means that my right eye is fully treated. Done. Nothing more. And it is still virtually blind. I’ve known for a long time of course that it wouldn’t get good again. But now it’s pretty much settled. I’ll never see with my right eye again. Barring that miracle I’m still waiting for. That’s all that’s lefet now. I can still hope for the best with my left eye. There is still some sight left in there, so maybe replacing that lens and getting that oil out witll make some kind of difference. You never know. I’m mpt tjat far from being completely blind.<\/p>\n
But right now I’m just happy that I’m not in pain. And it was like heaven to be able to sleep properly, on my back, again. Now I’m going to switch my brain off for a few days amd ler the world pass me by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
