forget.
I come back to the hospital a month after the surgery and guess what? IT DIDN'T WORK. THE SURGERY DIDN'T WORK. The vision on my left eye is hanging on by a thread.
The only other options are either one of two risky surgeries, or stay on medication until I inevitably go blind. One surgery includes placing in implant in my eye, but it's risky in that it can become infected, as with all implants, or it might put the pressure too LOW making it an even worse problem. It could also push my eye back out of alignment giving me double vision. The other surgery includes pretty much turning my eye-lid into a bit of a valve, using my own tissue to absorb liquids from my eye. This is dangerous in that no one knows if it'll work or not, since they've only ever done it on older patients, like in their 50's and over.
So right now I'm on an eye-drop that blurs my vision for 2 hours every dose, making school work hell to do. AND NOW I'm on a pill that can give me kidney stones in the long-term, and dizzyness + tingly fingers in the short term.
I have yet to shed any tears on the matter. They must be conserved to aid the eye-drops in doing their thing. Too bad I can't say the same for my family. They're really having the stress and worry get to them. I'm honestly a bit more worried about my family at this point rather than my own vision, and I'm the youngest.
I keep winning the bullstuff lottery. But I must stay determined.
