Exudative maculopathy, retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion all being checked today. Last visit had to have urgent laser treatment so hoping today will be ok as I have to give a lecture at 9am tomorrow!!!!! Hopefully after today I will be hospital free for a few months:D
 
I hope it all works and it is a good appointment with good news for you.
 
I hope everything goes well Amanda, I will be thinking of you and hoping for the best outcome 🙂
 
Been thinking of you Amanda - fingers, legs, even hair crossed all goes well for you today! 🙂

Take care,

Twitchy xx

Thank you Twitcy, I hope you don't get cramp🙂
 
Thank you everyone for your messages. The appointment is at 2.30, I'm now very nervous
 
Susie has just had massive hugs:D First of all the consultant thought that he would need to laser but then he did a scan and the exudates had cleared up so he didn't need to laser them. There is still some bleeding at the bottom of my "bad" eye and my vision was 6/36 (bad eye) 6/18 (good eye) - but overall, for me, a good result and I don't have to go back for six months:D
 
Fantastic news Amanda!! I bet you are so relieved. You can concentrate on other things now, like that lecture tomorrow, good luck with that too. XXXXX
 
Thanks Blythespirit. I genuniely feel like I've reached the end of a very long nightmare. I still can't believe that I haven't got a single hospital appointment for six months - I'm now happily planning lectures and Christmas:D xx
 
That's good news Amanda - sorry I didn't wish you luck earlier as I have only just seen this. You must be feeling quite relieved.
 
Don't forget to take some time out to celebrate too! XXXXX
