I have always been afraid of all those surgeries on eyes.. I mean seriously, like one little mistake and a person will go blind and its not like an eye can be replaced.. or be replaced easily. Be carefull people, protect your eyes. 

 

The surgeon's know what they are doing Rodger ,you would be in good hands .

Thanks Kalos.

I have missed chatting to everyone.

We spoke to Sarah at lunchtime and she feels a lot better but still tired with her covid19 infection.

I saw the eye consultant yesterday and both he and I are delighted with my eyes progress.

The eye was showing a slight increase in pressure so he told me to stop taking the steroid drops.

Thanks to yourself and everyone else for being lovely to Pauline.

She dislikes social media forums but kindly came on to reply that our Sarah was well.

Graham.

Glad you eye operation seems to be a success Graham. It’s amazing what they can do and how highly skilled the Drs are

Good to have you back Graham and great that you have now had your jab. How did the eye  consult go?

Thanks John.

The consultant was happy although he stopped the steroid drop as there was a slight increase in eye pressure.

I'm really pleased with the outcome and can drive and read small print on the TV without my varifocal glasses.

I will need a new glasses prescription but the consultant said to wait for a couple of months.

Yesterday afternoon I got my Pfizer Vaccine.

The centre was quite busy but I was in quickly and had to sit and wait afterwards for 15 minutes.

I didn't feel the injection.

5 Hours later my arm felt slightly painful at the vaccine injection spot.

It is still slightly painful when I lift my arm but no other reaction fortunately.

Graham.

Welcome home Graham. The Forum is improperly dressed without you on it!

It was so good to meet Pauline in your absence. Please thank her for keeping us updated. I hope Sarah is doing OK.  Love to you all.  Jane.x

Just had my Pfizer vaccine. Very well organised, very easy and no pain. Just hoping no side effects.

I now intend to relax on the sofa and do absolutely nothing this afternoon. Shame I haven’t trained the dog to make me a cup of tea!

 

Great news Gill. Fingers crossed for no side effects tonight. I know the dog can't make tea but can he pour wine? Best wishes. Jane.x

So far so good with no issues.

Freddie cannot pour wine unfortunately, but when I ask him if I should have another he always says “yes Mama”.

Decided not to have alcohol tonight tho - will wait until the weekend.

Thanks Jane.

My op primarily was to peal an Epiretinal Membrane from my eyes macular but the consultant decided to do the cataract too.

I have worn glasses all my life and for the last 8 years I have had expensive varifocals which are great.

The op was on my strong eye so I can drive and read the text on TV now without wearing my glasses.

I have got my previous prescription glasses out and took the lens out of the right side because it was far to strong and helps my left eye from getting strained when watching TV.

The consultant said he will see me in a couple of months and probably arrange for my left eye to have a mild cataract removed and wait until then before I get a new eye test. 

Hi Graham

Did your consultant suggest he could put a lens in the left eye that has the prescription for close up vision correction?

My replacement right lens does distance and the left lens does reading so I have no need for glasses whatsoever, and no glaucoma either. Just amazing what ophthalmic surgeons can do these days.

Thank you Graham. It just seems to be one thing after the other at the moment. Fingers crossed all tests come back clear

Stay safe everyone

Try not to worry too much Michelle - easy for me to say I know but just try not to stress too much. Best of wishes for a good outcome - and a holiday! Jane.x

Thanks Jane. I am not usually a stress head, even when I was diagnosed with MS I still stayed positive and carried on working as long as I could. I enjoy now researching holidays to suit me, finding suitable accommodation etc and I have just started doing my family tree which is keeping me busy as well and I will be going back to the gym asap. I have a holiday booked in Isle of Wight in August and Caribbean on Silhouette next Feb so something to look forward to

No but thanks so much for the suggestion.

He did say that when he sees me in a couple of months he would put me on the waiting list for a cataract op on my other eye to equalise the eyes which I understood was the distance aspect.

My left eye has always been a lazy eye and it was my right eye which is my strong eye that had the op for Epiretinal Membrane removal and IOL fitted after cataract surgery.

My varifocal glasses are excellent for reading with both eyes but too strong now with the IOL for my good eye for distance.

It’s great reading that so many of you have been jabbed at least once. My turn will come sooner rather than later by the sounds of it.

No side effects after Pfizer vaccine yesterday apart from a sore arm this morning. 
I did have a lovely long sleep from 8pm to 5.15am tho......💤💤💤

I'm 61 and booked my jab yesterday.  First dose at 8am on Monday - I feel very grateful.

Happy to heat that you have had no side effects 

[Snow Hill]

Seems to have been a slowdown in giving of first doses over last week, with over 33,000 less given compared to same period last week, probably the started of the second doses having an effect, plus a known reduction in supply.

He would only test positive for coronavirus if he has an active infection. 

 

He's hardly likely to have a bad reaction to a second shot, when he hasn't had a first shot

 

 

The person who gave me the account of what happened to her husband is very reliable, so if she says this situation has arisen, then I believe what she's saying.

What was the result of your friend's vaccine check up test?

I haven't got a crystal ball.

 

He was told he could have the antibody test after THREE weeks.

 

Only TWO weeks have elapsed
