Some of you may remember that Oh lost the sight in his right eye about 2 1/2 years ago after a blood vessel blocked in it ?
Well it was his 6 monthly appointment again today.... pressure has come down further in his eye but there is a slight blood vessel leak so has yet more drops to add to the 2 lots he's already taking. Only 4 x 14 days but he's abit down in the mouth about it. The good news is that he doesn't have to go back to that particular department and is going to be referred to Glaucoma dept instead for them to keep check of things.
Even though he has NO sight in his right eye they still insist on putting drops in to enlarge the pupil and it gives him a banging headache for the rest of the day. It's almost as if his eye is still sensative to light and is trying to focus!!!
Also we've both been to see Diabetic nurse at GP's this afternoon...both are well within target numbers. My Cholestrol was up abit higher than they would have like but put that down to the run up to and over Christmas excessive eating the wrong foods! (now back to eating Rosemary Conley style meals again).
We also got mild 'telling off' about weight, as usual, but again it's starting to shift.
Otherwise .MOT was ok for another 6 mths.
