hi all i'm robbie i have been a type 1 diabetic since 1984, and suffer with peripheral neuropathy. i am going for my 4th lazer treatment on my eyes for diabetic retinopathy on the 20th april 2009.
the insulins i take are novorapid and lantus.
 
Hi Robbie, welcome aboard mate.

I hope everything turns out well on Monday and you keep us posted.

Best wishes,

fergus
 
just typical

last night, i had a personal call from the surgeon who was going to do my lasers on monday, and he cancelled cos cant get an aneasatist. :x
 
Oh Dear!
I expect it's because the anaesthetists have a mximum number of hours. My friend's daughter was prepped for theatre to have a stent fitted, when the samething happened to her.
My husband has had about 8/10 laser treatments and there was never an anaesthetist there.
What kind of treatment were you due to have?
 
hi ya
its laser to seal hemorrhages in my eyes.
i don't know when it will be not just have to wait for the next appointment. but i have a operation on my hand in a week or so not looking forward to that as i will be awake :cry:
Robbie xx
