Thank You.. Your kind thoughts must have worked..My eye is better
In fact, after a mad scramble through the house, looking for every old pair of glasses I have stashed, I found a pair from a few years ago that I can actually see though.. I bought a pair of those generic dimestore reading glasses for the close up , and they work pretty well..

Today I was able to reduce the magnification on my computer screen too..

I have no delusions that it has "gone away", but the medicine seems to be working, and even though I do not see well enough to drive, it's a blessing to at least not be afraid to fall asleep.. (I was so afraid that since every day it had gotten worse, one day I would wake up and it would be gone ..)

This damned thing is a forever "condition", but apparently the sight is not as damaged, as we feared..

The dr said that it's vastly improved.. I go back next week, and I sure hope it's even better then..

The positive energy from you all had to be a mitigating factor:):):loveya:..

Thanks ever so much :)

ps.. don't stop :).. I would like to drive again ..I am going stir crazy :)

2. wow!
I am so fucking thrilled for you, SCD....

You don't know how many times your problem has crossed my mind ... suffice it to say, it was a lot.

I'm an atheist, so I don't pray. But I did think good thoughts about you regularly - I don't believe it helped, but I'll be willing to pretend it did.

*smoooch*

5. Last week I had to call a meeting at the bowling league to tell everyone
Edited on Wed Jan-07-04 06:23 AM by SoCalDem
and to ask them to write plainer and bigger if possible.. It was very hard to do, since it was all so "fresh" ,and I got a little weepy.. There must have been 30 people who came up to me and asked what they could do to help.. Since I cannot drive, I have volunteers galore for rides..(Last night I was chauffeuered in a brand new cadillac :))

I hesitated about having a meeting, but I knew that it was better to tell everyone at once, than to have everyone come to me individually.(there are NO secrets in OUR bunch )..:)

Everyone is being very careful and helpful :)

6. Sending good thoughts to you...
for a steady improvement in your sight. The eye diseases seem to infest the men in my family and I understand the fear of blindness. Very best wishes to you!

Still sending my happy vibes. If you lived in my city, St. Paul, I'm sure your driving would still be considered more or less average. :)

11. This is MOST excellent news, SoCal
I'm sorry I didnt get to post in your original thread about this, but I can only begin to imagine what it must feel like to fear losing your sight.
I had acute Uveitis when I was pregnant and was told at the time that it is a potentially sight threatening condition. I never truly considered, though, just how devastating that could be.
All good thoughts go out to you, and I'm soooo glad to hear that things are improving.
We would miss you here, more than you probably realize, if you ever had to stop posting.

14. Thanks for the update...
It was certainly good to see that things are getting better for your eye.

It is not surprising, with all of the good thoughts coming your way though.

SoCal, you made my day with this. As you are aware, this hit me where I live, too, so I share in your good news.

I will continue to send prayers your way.

Our calls on whatever good vibes we could send may not have been the stuff that worked, but it sure doesn't harm anything!
