Have you started wearing glasses? Is this the first noticeable change in vision that you’ve had?

I wouldn’t let it go, darlin’. I don’t have the worst lens prescription in the world and laser surgery is still an eventual goal for me, if just to stop further damage to my vision. You have an even more acute issue in front of you, and I would start looking into what it might take to pay for a surgery like this. If you look now before things get absolutely critical, you might be able to find some sort of reduction or at least some assistance with cost (although I don’t know if you have any kind of insurance or something that would be of help). Before you start getting serious about doing anything like this, though.. I would check on both blood pressure and get your average and fasting blood glucose levels confirmed. My fiance’ was diagnosed as hypertensive and hypoglycemic (type II diabetic) this year, and both conditions can go unnoticed for a long time while affecting a lot of body functions. Basically, problems in either of these areas might make it more difficult to heal from any kind of surgery or procedure, and could speed along any damage that would make surgery necessary.

email me sometime?

take care honey*

I know that this is a tough thing to go through. I can’t imagine how scary it must be to know the possibility of losing your sight! I know that you will follow the doctor’s orders and do as they recommend. Please keep me posted on how this process goes.

As always you’re in my thoughts and heart. If there’s anything you need, please let me know. I’m always hear for you. Just say the word.

Until then, remember: Everything happens for a reason. Although we may not understand and/or accept the reasons behind the circumstances that we encounter, eventually the reasons are revealed to us, and we are always stronger because of it.

I love you always, please let me know if there’s anything you need.
