Appointment 1. Out ot the way!

23 Replies

Hello dear BLF friends,

A Monday picture I kept for you but sunshine is back today after storm and rain.

So 2 months after that eye op I have developed a secondary cataract in my right eye. It’s like a veil over my implant apparently..A complication 50% of patients have post op..I have to go back in 3 months for laser treatment. Somehow I was relieved it was only that..

Today up to the hospital for appointment 2, the back specialist! 🤞🤞🤞

A medical marathon this week 🏃🏻‍♀️😃

Have a good day x

Dear Fran, This is not Good , I do hope it gets sorted. I am right now retrieving my Eye Drops , although I have new Glasses and the Optician said the cataract is there but not bad enough to be removed (right eye), I feel that my new prescription is no different to my previous one. Never mind. You are going through a lot recently and you are always strong. Good that Bea & Aria are there to lift your Spirits. Your Photo is so Beautiful and Tranquil. Thank you for sharing it. take care. Love n Hugs, Carolina XXXX

Hola Carolina,

If you can’t see well with your new glasses it means you need to see a specialist about that cataract, nowadays they operate much earlier than they used to.

Mum had the secondary cataract and the laser done, she said it’s nothing so it is just waiting a little while longer.

I will be thinking of you next week Carolina 🌸🌻🌺

Wishing you well 💕

Keeping everything crossed for appointment number 2 Fran. I’m sure the cataract will be successfully lasered too.

Great photo and such a beautiful scene.

Have a good day and take care. Xxx 🌻💐🌞👍🤞🏼

Hi Fran firstly another fine photo such a beautiful country u live in ... So your returning in 3 months to get your eye lasered...you sounded like you where thinking it may be something worse am I right ? I think these situations are there to test us but it just goes to show the strength u have as you never complain and are always very positive xxx I'm hoping your appointment today goes well ...I'm trying to get used to being free to go out as I keep forgetting I am now able to get in my car and fend mostly for myself with the help of my hoist ..it's fab as it's given me the chance to see the outside world after being stuck in for the past few years really ...Gonna drive to Matalan as town is too scary on my own just yet ...Anyway hope you and Bea and not forgetting Aria are all well xx x take care my lam sis 😘 love mel 💖💛

in reply to skischool

Thank you Skis, my replies are all over the place so I don’t know if my eyes 👀 are letting me down or if it is my technology lol

Oh the holiday seems far ahead..we have the work on the flat first..will count my pennies after that!!

Take good care and of Scruffynounette xx

My dear Mel 💖

Hi Fran, the rain has reached us today in the midlands. But sun is forecast for the weekend. It's pouring and overcast not unusual for Whit week, my late fathering-in-law always used to call it Wet Week Enjoy your dayx
