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.

It sounds pretty bad. I am glad I am not in your shoes, to be honest. But if I was, this is what I would do: Stop all medications. Accept no more surgeries. Seek out an alternative treatment for the eyes, and for the diabetes type 2.

Ann T. Krist – Yes, I know that’s what you’d do. And who knows, maybe it would be the right thing. But I can’t do that. I try to keep an open mind about things, but I don’t trust alternative medicine enough to just dump conventional science. Even if I did believe in it , I don’t know if I could do it now.

Take a look where conventional science got you, so far. Maybe this science has been adulterated with financial interests? The pharmaceutical companies who make and sell drugs, are not exactly interested in curing people since they would then stop purchasing the drugs. These drugs are integrated into the hospital as institution. Do you really think that doctors primary responsibility is improving their patients health? Well think again! It is your risc, and you that have to tolerate it and live with it.

Ann T. Krist – And the alternative healers have no financial interest in getting me to dump conentional medicine eh?
Anyway, as I said, I don’t think I could even if I wanted to. Suffer the consequences.

There is something there beyond the mountains, Plume. Life can’t stay shit forever.
I am grateful you can still use the computer, but I hope the Sight Central people hook you up with a computer screen reader or something so you don’t strain your eyes trying to make out words. I am looking forward to your situation stabilizing and you finally having your meeting with them.
Also, how are meals going for you? Are you still able to eat healthy? Fresh fruits, fish, veggies? Conventional medicine may not have all the answers, but one can never go wrong with good food, water, and exercise.
Stay strong.

I’m glad our goats and donkey got their winter coats back from the dry cleaners! We saw a few “snow flakes” today!
We went to a fall Scenic Drive and Craft Show today. I don’t think the weather knew it was to be FALL and not winter. Brrrr.
Yes, those Sight Central people better show up soon and get you some help. If they don’t want to hear from a crazy lady in the US calling them up and telling them to “Get over to my Plume’s apartment and help him out now”.
I will have to send the Goat Patrol over to get things rolling for you. I sure hope things start stabilizing for you soon. It must be so frustrating.
We’re always interested in hearing from you – whether it’s good news or bad. That’s what friends are for, my dear danish goat boy.
Write when you can – you know you are always in our thoughts.

As far as I read you, you are already suffering the consequences.
I hope you will be ok.
Who knows, maybe conventional medicine will start working in favour of the patient.

Mapple34 – I am still trying to eat healthy yes. And now I’m going to start exercise biking again. It’ll be good to get going on that again.
Debster – to be fair to the sight central people, we are the ones who have had to cancel several appointments because of medical emergencies. But we should see them on Thursday, if all goes well.
Ann T. Krist – Yes, suffering indeed. It’s not like I necessarily disagree with you about the drug industry etc. But abandoning conventional science, that is a leap of faith I cannot take.
