Blue Eyes
Back in March I had some visual defects in my left eye. I used to suffer from migraines years prior to this, but having cut out chocolate, cheese and coffee my severe heads traumas have ceased. Any how.. after my disturbance in the kitchen at home, I blinked a few times and was surprised when it hadn't gone. A quick trip to the doctor the next day, he got me an appointment at the hospital the very next day, as he too was rather concerned. This all started off a sequence of weekly trips to the hospital for eye checks and a procedure which after the first dose, put me off wanting to go again. A few drops into 'both' eyes which dilate the pupils. This helping the specialist to see into the back of both eyes for any abnormalities. This is where they discovered a hemorrhage had taken place behind my left eye. I have had several of these examinations, with the awful drops, with numerous bright lights shone in the eyes, some thing which I hate as I have light sensitive eyes to start with., but they have to do this to find out what caused the defect in the first place. Over the months I've had quite a few blood tests also, on one occasion it came back border line diabetic, but my own doctor proved this not to be so. My eye specialist at the hospital informed me that a woman of my age shouldn't be having hemorrhages at the back of my eyes, so tomorrow I'm having a CT scan to try and define why this happened. It will take them all of twenty minutes and hopefully they won't find any thing wrong! I say this because I'd hate to find out that I' have got some thing wrong with my eyes/head/vision! But like any other procedure, I won't get the results straight away... I will have to go back some time later to hear the results, but I'm not worried or in the slightest bit scared, what's the point.. why worry about some thing that might not be! If it's bad news then I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. So this is the latest so far in my health... I'm happy, I'm OK.

Sorry to hear that. It's such a pain when something is wrong and they can't tell you what it is straight away. The waiting is horrible :(
Lucy ~ Yeah it is but thanks for dropping in.. I'll sleep better when I get the results
I'm happy to hear you are so determined not to worry in advance. I tend to do quite the opposite...what for? Just to live in agony unnecessarily, wasting my present time.
Brave woman you are... so, for sure, it'll be ok. Cheer up,anyway friend and have a super time while these things go by...in the time being...

You have a real healthy attitude.
I am sure it won't be anything too serious.
I hope they come up with something definitive quickly - something they can fix easily!
You're fairing well in the face of that frustration - it's a good thing they're looking at it - far too many doctors dismiss symptoms and try to have you wait it out...
I hoe you get definitive news soon.
I rilly admire that you are so determined not to let something weigh u down n make u worry when u kno u have no control of the outcome. i wish i had that ability. my life would be so much easier, i believe. however, u are in my thoughts && hopefully the wait won't be that long && the results will be something that can be easily fixed.
