Appointment

[floki7]

Well, wonders will never cease ! Just got a follow up appointment come through the post to say I have to attend on the 12th August for a follow up after Trab surgery last April, have had a couple of previous appointments last year and the last time I was there, they said we will see you in 3 months, which would have been about October, so 10/11 months behind !

Wow hurrah an appointment at last ,you have certainly had a ridiculously long wait. Fingers crossed they are able to do something to help with the blurriness . You must have had to sit down with the shock of actually getting an appointment. I hope it goes well for you, let us know how you get on . X

Hi Witchie, thank you, will let you know, hope its good news for my birthday the day after lol !

[Hidden in reply to floki7]

They must have decided to give an early birthday present 😊. Hopefully the fact it's just before your birthday it's a good sign .

[floki7 in reply to Hidden]

Lol, yes I'm hopeful, hope you are keeping well.

[Hidden in reply to floki7]

I am thanks Floki , we've just had a few days away in St Andrews, which was great . I'm waiting on my next eye appointment at moment but all was well at my recent opticians check up so should be fine . Hope all is good with you too ?

[floki7 in reply to Hidden]

Its good to get away even just a few days, glad you enjoyed it, good luck on your next appointment, sounds like it will be fine, so wish you well. Yes all good here, I am in the middle of upcycling some pine wardrobes, which will need some fine cutting in on some scroll work, so with my eyesight that will be a challenge Lol ! Best wishes.

You definitely keep yourself busy and always have a project . Your wardrobes sound great, the extent of my upcycling involves slapping some Annie Sloan paint on, no skill required at all 😊.Yes it was great to get away and Lu was obsessed with the miles and miles of sand as we only have want here when the tide is way out .

Everything crossed for you tomorrow Floki x

Thanks Witchie, not looking forward to sitting up there for a few hours, wearing a mask, but if needs be ! Will let you know how I get on. x

Hope you got on ok Floki x

Hi Witchie, yes not too bad news, my better eye is stable with the pressures, the Trab eye vision is blurred because of a small cataract, so a new consultant who I have not seen before, said she would see me again in 4 - 6 months to check my better eye, and refer me to a colleague who specialises in cataract removal on patients who have Glaucoma and post op Trab surgery. So another journey begins ! x

[Hidden in reply to floki7]

That wasn't too bad then and good that your better eye is stable and also now you know why the vision in trab eye is blurry . Unfortunately cataracts are pretty common after trab surgery but at least this consultant is going to refer you to a specialist. Fingers crossed it's not such a long wait this time and then after the op you will be able to see properly again. I know eye ops are horrible but after surviving a trab the cataract op is a dawdle 😃.I did it the other way round cataract first then trab !!! Did she give you any indication how long it might be until you are seen ? I'm glad for you that the blurriness is something that can be dealt with.I have been at a street market today, I bought plants ,succulents but no idea what they are called but they have lovely flowers 🤣. I also got homemade gingerbread and banana loaf and still have change from a tenner !!!

Enjoy your weekend,I hope it's not too hot for you and your wee dog to get out for a walk. It's roasting up here ,not something I say very often.

Take care x

Thanks Witchie, no, not sure how long it will be before I see this other specialist, so hopefully not to long ! Yes its too hot to take the dog out in this heat, I take him for a short walk about 6.30 am then he goes out in the evening for an hour. I love a street market, with stalls selling lots of sweet goodies and special foods, unfortunately the District council charged the stall holders ridiculous amounts of money for a pitch, that they all packed up, we also had a great cattle market, sadly no more. Will let you know the next steps, as they happen. Best wishes.

[Hidden in reply to floki7]

Yes hopefully you won't have to wait too long to see the consultant. Waiting is the worst . We have had rain this evening so it wasn't quite as muggy when taking Lu out , thunderstorms tomorrow apparently!!!

Our street market was held in the village car park at no cost to the stall holders at all .

Yes let me know when you hear from consultant .

[floki7 in reply to Hidden]

Certainly will, muggy here today, and thunderstorms due later this week ! Best wishes.
