3 months later

My operation was on the 4th of December. Tomorrow will be the 4th of March about 3 months later. By now really I was expecting my vision to be probably close to 9/9 and my eye to be comfortable. Instead my vision is probably not quiet 6/9 and I continue to need drugs for my eye to stop inflammation, mucus and bad things in general. Even with drugs its not really comfortable.

I've been on maxidex a week and a half longer then I was originally supposed to after two unsuccessful attempts to change to FML. Tomorrow I change to a combination of voltarin(sp?) and FML drops. It would have been today but the chemist had to get the drops in from Sydney. My eye pressure was check yesterday by the optometrist and is normal- one of the many complications of steroid drops like maxdidex is that it can get dangerously high. Dr Maloof still doesn't want me to stay on it any longer then necessary which sounds like good sense.

Maybe its just taking longer then expected and it will still heal up - at least so that it is more comfortable. It's hard not to feel a little discouraged however. I think maybe I will give Dr Maloof a ring today and see if I shouldn't visit him and see what’s going on with the eye.

My eye does appear to have stabilised enough for me to be able to get a lens for my glasses prescribed. Hopefully I will get it this week, which should be a nice improvement in vision for me.
