I've been told that tomorrow afternoon they will either laser the eye or refer me for surgery to Oxford eye hospital. I don't know if they will be able to fix the damage this major bleed has caused or just try to stop it from getting worse. My vision has 2-3 thick black threads threads that can be rather disconcerting.
Still not sure why this wasn't picked up at the retinal appointment that I had six days before the major bleed but I received the letter today about that appointment and it said my next follow up would be in three months....

Hope it goes well AJ, eyes are so precious and such a worry.

I can’t have the cataract surgery I desperately need due to a whole host of factors I won’t go into at present.

I’ve got a hearing test tomorrow (the day before my mum’s funeral) followed by a ENT appt later in the week to see if there’s leukaemic infiltration into my auditory structures.

Nobody said life was easy but maybe it shouldn’t be this hard! 🙄

Take care and hope the solution to your problem is the least unpleasant and invasive Amanda. Those threads you can see must drive you mad! x

Hi Amigo
I am so sorry. I started typing a reply to you yesterday and then my Ipad went flat before we went out. I am so really sorry to hear that you can't have the cataract surgery. That is so unfair. I'm also really sorry to hear about the ear problems. You don't deserve to be going through any of this, and especially not at the time of your Mum's funeral. Much love and hugs xx
