[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1852039, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=274402]@Hattonma[/USER], You are in the trenches bombarded and wounded. First, can you possible convert holidays to sick leave if necessary and also use the sick certificate to cancel and be re-imbursed for any holiday arrangements ? When in hospital for other reasons I recall a patient with what sounded like your condition being advised by the nurses to use salt baths. Not sure if that applies to you, but here in Australia, sitting in the middle of a salt pan as far as the eye can see with a a watering can does not sound like fun! I am not familiar with the DVLA eye test. I presume you see an eye specialist ? yearly ? two yearly? as part of diabetes care so maybe he/she can explain why your measured 20/20 (or ? 6/6) vision is not sufficient for you to drive, could he/she provide you with a certificate that renders you fit to drive from the eyesight perspective. And is there any visual aid like spectacles which could help ?? Or is it another test like about peripheral vision that is the issue? Best Wishes on your recovery and with the driving !! [/QUOTE]
