Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 45091" data-source="post: 2522421"><p>Aup Helen, I can understand where your coming from, me being told that i was frightened to death of what's in store, Ive got macular edema in both eyes, aged 41 thinking omg the complications are kicking in, from my first eye injection about a year back a was frightened big time. Your mind can wander thinking of the frightening scenarios, I've had tons of ops this year, eye injections detached retina, high pressures etc, you are no where that stage, I only had another op yesterday, got to take a load of drops eye looks sore even thanked them when asked how it went, said enjoyed it listening to another day in paradise Phil Collins while I am here again, the hardest thing is going through problems alone, this forum has been helpful. My diabetes is still rubbish but bit by bit iam trying to improve things that's all we can do, take things nice and steady and face any little obstacle one at a time. I was having injections in left eye once a month now it's every few months, and even after all the things I've had done to my right eye I can still see quite a bit, it's amazing what they can do these days, but as before your no where near that stage and Iam the other end of the scale, but I do know how scary it is when you get told etc and the panic/worry sets in, please try not to worry duck there's loads of stuff they can do now, and not sure what your diabetes is like, but improving things nice and steady I find the best way, don't be too hard on yourself, try not to worry too much, talk to whoever when you can, sorry for long post but been there/here and there's always hope.</p></blockquote><p></p>
