i got my second opinion last Thursday…a shocking one…yes…but I took it bravely enough…I’m now officially sight-disabled person…my new ophthalmologist confirmed me of having primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) with unidentifiable cause…most likely, it stems out resulting from my past tragedies with Jack…
my left eye now is nearly quarter blind with 23.4% blind spots/damaged optic nerves at the top left section of my left eyeballs…I also had high reading of ocular stress and suffers dry eye syndrome…
however, I feel very lucky and grateful for:
1. I’m still able to see my beautiful world around me, my lovely family and friends’ joy faces…
2. I’m still able to fool around with my handsome Ryan…
3. I’m just blessed…
I got difficulties in focusing on words (on screens and on hardcopy items)…my job needs my eyes…that’s one problem…my passion needs my eyes…that’s two problems…I can’t part with my books and my Rose…
So,what’s there for me? i’ve been prescribed with new specifications for a new pair of glasses…my right eye can still receives 100% light whereas its damaged partner has limited access of almost 90% only… my new frame was chosen by ‘Aina and Beebee…it was a bright, white full-rimmed metal frame by Guess…I got myself a custom-made transition lenses from Japan…it will arrive some time within this week…
And lucky me…alhamdulillah…today, I went for my follow-up session…the 1st line theraphy was working alright…three kinds of eye drops to reduce my eyes’ stress level…my right eye has toned down to reach the stress reading at 17 and my left eye fortunately return to normal stress level of 16…yeay…need to continue for another month…best advice is to stay happy…
Looking back at the past few days, indeed I felt happy happy for:
1. having lovely girlfriends to gossip & sharing & caring last Friday at MFM…we even venture to our ‘favourite store’…*wink wink* to Mai…
2. spending time with no14 for a movie outing...we watched 'Talentime'...nice...at 4.76 stars...
3. visiting almost 2-months old Shahzad Raza (handsome prince) with Beebee and Suzie
4. supporting Earth Hour 2009…was having nice dinner at Suraya Seafood in Kampung Baru…(again with Beebee and Suzie and little Ms Aini)
5. enjoying myself during PRD BBQ family day at Nur Lembah Pangsun…
6. receiving surprises and more surprises from I, II and III (no comment on this…go figure...hehe)
