My vision still sits at 20/400 and the eye surgeon here got NONE of the reports from the big girl hospital that I was in for my huge ON attack. She was quite upset. I told her they tried hard to convert me to their practice, and I DEMANDED to be returned to her service. She wants to take the next couple of days to hunt down the files, go over the tests, find out the impressions, and opinions of her colleges and then get back to me.


She was thrilled that I have already been working with the blind society, and was more than happy to fill out my paperwork for the doggie. She will also fax over the info needed to the blind society to release whatever they will, as she has certified me as "legally blind" she wanted to warn me that she is a mandatory reporter to the DMV and I will have my license removed. (like I could find the car) and that after she has a chance to pour over the results she will call me and we can discuss where we go from here.

As she entered the room I was in a downpour of tears with DH hanging onto me telling me it was going to be ok. I had simply reached my limit of fatigue, frustration, and tolerance. She was so sweet to sit and hear us both out about what we had been thru.

She was as gentle as possible when viewing the tip end of the optic nerve, and knew what she was doing was painful. I was pleased that she was aware of that. I knew that she had to hurt me to look, but just the fact that she appreciated that helped.

So...I will tell you what I know when she calls back. For now the optic nerve appears to be healing, but she told me that "some get their vision back, some dont. at 8 weeks post attack, its unlikely, but stranger things have happened." so...thar ya have it.
