A bit of an update on a late THANKFUL THURSDAY (and notes from the Beaglebratz)

We are joining in the

Thankful Thursday Blog Hop

this week with PepiSmartDog.

My vision is slowly improving, in fact it had started improving a little when I wrote that last blog post however I was still waiting to hear what the next step would be as far as doctor appointments – I have a doctor appointment with my specialist next Tuesday, 12/9.  The specialist also wanted me to increase the anti-rejection eyedrop – which means he could see the possibility of rejection just in the pictures  my local doc sent him. (in case anyone reading this post missed my prior post then click HERE which will bring you up to speed – basically it’s the same old-same old stuff).  Me and sis were kinda hoping for an appointment at the specialist’s office in Overland Park (suburb of Kansas City) and maybe do a little Christmas shopping but we are going there this Friday (12/5) anyway so I can spend my birthday doing one of my fav pastimes – SHOPPING! (most fav are the Beaglebratz of course)  Anyway, now – just more waiting however now the wait is to see what happens between now and the appointment time.  As I said in my prior post, my ultimate dream/wish, at least where my eye/vision is concerned, is TOTAL healing and vision improves GREATLY from the recent (3/2013) stem cell transplant.  HOWEVER, the more realistic part of me (which includes some medical knowledge of my eye condition) also anticipates my specialist bringing up the topic of the NEXT procedure – like how soon to do it since this e.ye/vision flare-up seems to be happening more often.

Anyway, I do want to thank you all for your healing thoughts and concern, POTP, prayers and purrayers - THEY ARE WORKING - 
and PLEASE keep them coming.  Now the Beaglebratz havr a 
few words (?)

A QUIK UPDATE

Appointment ran later than what I had planned – 

basically this is just going to keep happening UNTIL I

 have a stem cell transplant from my left eye - the

 eye is healthy just blind - and this is really up to me.

  I have about 2 yrs. & 5 months before I have 

30 years in wkere I work – that would be my ultimate

 goal.  If I can’t wait that long then my next goal

would be anytime AFTER the end of January, 2014 –

when my consolidation loan is paid off.  Of course if

at any time I would absolutely need it ASAP then

most definitely it will happen at that time.  Yes the

epithelial defect was large – between 4.5 and 5 mm 

in size and yes, more cloudiness – both of these are

things I have dealt with before and will likely deal

with again according to my eye specialist. He

replaced the contact lense but other than that, no

new treatment - we both know what I am dealing 

with and what is needed to give me the best possible

chance at improvement.  Oh, the reason I am 

waiting - my doctor is saying recovery and getting 

back to work could take 3 - 6 months and currently 
 
about 2 days of leave which would mean NO income

which means I want to build up a little leave time.

Anyway, that bandage contact lense has usually been

beneficial in the past at reducing the defect-

even healing it completely a time or two.

So that is what is happening right now.  Hopefully 

the Beaglebratz will return in a day or so. 

Thank-you all for your prayers, AGAIN!
