A mixture of happenings

I think I already have a post with this title in the blog archive somewhere but really its sums thing sup so well I had to use it again!

First off I have picked up the latest bug that's going around, went down with it on Friday so have been feeling rather rough and had to have a couple of days off college. Talking of college my first exam was on Monday so that was perfect timing in terms of getting ill.

However it’s not really being ill, college or rubbish exams I wanted to blog about today it’s the happenings of Tuesday.

Tuesday morning I had the hospital for an eye check up which I was kind of worried about because of all the stuff the contact lens people.

Well the cornea mystery has been somewhat solved, I have another eye problem to add to the list cornea oedema. In English they a basically tiny little fluid filled cysts on the surface of my cornea that are microscopic, they make my cornea a little bit more cloudy than it should be. Right now they are not really causing a problem apart from I will never be able to wear contact lenses which isn't the end of the world.

Unfortunately my glaucoma was rather sky high in my left eye, it was 28 (18 is the highest it should be) but my right eye was not quite as high. The plan of action is to change my eye drops and luckily it hasn't affected my vision so here's hoping the drops sort it all out! I have to go back in 3 months for a check up; it’s a bit frustrating because my glaucoma has been well under control for about 4 years but meh these things happen.

Then in the afternoon I met Gus he is a black Labrador retriever who is going to be 2 years old this Saturday we went for a walk and it was decided jointly between all three of us, me Gus and the guide dog trainer T that we were a successful mach!

So I will be disappearing off to train on the 23rd of June and I'm counting down the days!

Gus is absolutely beautiful we walk at the same pace and he is lovely and tall I feel like we instantly bonded!

Here is a picture of us at the centre yesterday

The contact lens latest

Well the contact lens latest, it didn't go so well to put it bluntly!

My cornea's are fuc£ed!

Lots of damage showing up on them basically which is apparently a new thing. Even without the contact lenses in which rules out them as the cause. At this stage they cant do any more about the possibility of contacts until they find out what the hell is up with my eyes. The contact lens specialist said she had never seen anything like it so is referring me back to a consultant.

Its not so good, bit of a worry really that I might have another eye condition, I don't want another eye condition I have enough already! My consultant appointment is not until the 13th of May so I suppose its less than a month but still I just want to no what's up and get it sorted.

Contact lenses- the very latest

As updates go this one is a little late but meh its here now!

Basically I had my last contact lens appointment last Tuesday, it DID NOT go AT ALL well!

My vision is quite good and there comfy and everything but when it came to taking them out and the Doctor looking at my eyes it was really bad. My cornea's hate them! They were damaging all the cells in my cornea, which if left would lead to seriously massive eye infections or bad ulcer of the eye. The worst thing is my Doctor actually said that it was the worst cornea reaction she had ever seen! That's bad, she's an eye specialist... she's probably seen thousands of eyes in her time and mine was the worst!

Obviously its looking a lot like contacts aren't going to work out, but we haven't given up just yet, there are 4 things it could be:

1. I'm allergic to the contact lens solution.
2. I'm allergic to the contact lenses.
3. I have another eye condition to add to my collecti0n.
4. My eyes hate contact lenses full stop!

None of that is good, she has ordered me in an extra sensitive contact lens to see if that's it, the chances of me being allergic to the solution are really small, so its a wait and see kind of thing.

I really hope I don't have another eye condition I think I have/ had enough of them all redy!
