Re: Eye Help Needed
Dear shygirl When I started to read your post I felt so sad, but reading the last sentence shows that you feel there is hope and please dont give up at all. When you go for your appointment on Wednesday I find that if I write questions ,it really helps. Dont be put off or intimindated by the doctors jargon if you dont understand or think you are misinterpreting what the doctor is saying, you could say, 'could you repeat that please as I dont fully understand what you are saying, and what does this mean or what does that mean. You musn't see yourself as a nuisance or a bother, ( I'm sure a lot of people have felt like that at some time) We are not doctors or nurses so a lot of what they say can be very confusing, they are YOUR eyes. I'm sure the doctor wasn't witholding anything from you, I'm afraid you are one of many patients that they see everyday. Try and be positive, I know it hards, your health and wellbeing are always worth fighting for, dont give up. Try and have a good weekend shygirl. Take care with very best wishes (((( X )))) RRBShyGirl said:Thanks for the replies.
I'm not sure what type of patient I am. I was the one who mentioned my eyesight and future which led to being sent for field vision tests but the more I read and research , the more confused I am. I am wondering if the doctor is withholding things from now as why have a vision field test before you've had an op.
I don't even know if "fluid in your eye" is something I can fix , something that will turn into glaucoma or worse. The nurse wouldn't stop telling me how nervous and upset I looked too , hate it when that happens.
I've bad living circumstances and a very unsupportive parent (I can't go alone to appointments , its not an option ) so I find it hard to see a "happy" ending.
I've no family or memories to keep me going much longer which is a worry and I regret not having a partner during such **** times. I'm just a bit overwhelmed but must of all resigned and that's scary as the one thing I need is hope so I can keep on fighting. It got me through childhood , teens , my 20's etc but it's gone recently.
I'm not going to give up yet and hope Wednesday will give me at least one concrete answer but I can't help feeling it's all in vain.
