typing is almost impossible.


I spent ALL day Thursday at the Gainesville VA hospital. I managed
to take a no-show seat on the DAV shuttle from the local clinic. I was
examined by four doctors, including the head of the eye clinic. Then
they sent me to have a MRI and still have no idea what is wrong. I have
to go back on Monday for more tests and I hope it won't be another day
of being up 22.5 hours, after 2.5 hours sleep.

I am finally starting to see some improvement. I was able to keep it
open and synced to my left eye for about 30 seconds, while driving. I
still have a lot of jitters in its movement, but it is showing some
improvement.

There are two kinds of people on this earth:

The crazy, and the insane.

The first sign of insanity is denying that you're crazy.

I hope it works out for you............I just saw my retina doctor today.
and she measured the reitnal thickness of the left eye at 799uM, while the
right eye has stabilized at 364uM.
The left eye is pretty useless right now, but she gave me an injection of
Avastin, hoping that it will reduce the swelling in the left eye. Diabetes
is sure a boatload of fun. I understand what you are going through, because
I am going through it myself. Although the swelling in the right has
reduced, the steroid injections have accelerated that development of a
cataract, to the point where I have lost about 50 percent of my contrast
perception. I have the font on my computer set to the largest "I am blind
and cannot see the screen" setting. Good luck!

Thanks, Pete. I had to drive to the VA Hospital in Gainesville
Tuesday for another follow up, a 90+ mile round trip.

The ophthalmologist said that I was doing a lot better, and to come
back in December for another follow up. Some days both eyes work, and
some, I have to use one or the other. It gets worse as the day goes on,
or if I don't get a full eight hours of sleep. It looks like I'll need
new glasses again since my vision has changed in my right eye. I was
waiting for this pair when I had the palsy, and now they are almost
useless.

Now this time, remember what I told you. DO NOT look at my picture.

Or as the sign at work said, "Do not look into laser with remaining
good eye."

That's not the cause. In fact, I looked at you with my bad eye, just
in case. It was my good eye that took a vacation. ;-)
