Hello keith Like you when Mr K told me about the possible operation referral I was in shock a bit and on the bus home I was filling up a bit and thinking I wish I had that special person sitting next to me and giving me alittle hug and telling me that WE will be going through it together with love and support. So it's not sad and you are not sad to think that, it's human nature.
I think when a Gp or specialist says the word operation most people think oh no and worry, because it is after all an operation. But when it comes to the eyes it hits even harder, an appendix or gall bladder taken out ( most, it seems is done by keyhole surgery) we can do without them, but the eye's, well I heard they the windows of the soul, and windows for viewing with and with out these we don't have that other organ to take over or to compensate.
It's trying to be strong, hopeful and positive and I know there have been a lot of other members who have gone through similar problems and worries.
If you or anyone wants to pm me please do, so we can help each other out when times are hard and we are feeling a bit low.
I can't believe we are having our Op's on the same day, but hundreds of miles away.
Try and keep your chin up and we are all here for each other, through the good times and sometimes the not so good.
Take care and you are in my thoughts.
Best wishes RRB
