Check Up at Hospital (6 Weeks After DALK Surgery)

Just got back from the hospital for my check up about my transplant surgery. Right eye has improved slightly, whereas the left eye has slowly gotten worse. But knowing that the vision will get better and worse over the next 2 years gives me more reason not to panic.

Had my left eye scanned for the first time since before undergoing the surgery and all the nurse could say (who has scanned my eye the whole time I’ve been at the eye clinic) was a massive “Wow”. My eye is no longer blacks and purples but now red and yellows, which is a MASSIVE improvement.

My consultant was worried about the pressure that was building in my eyes, and so prescribed me Lotemax, which is less aggressive than the Maxidex eyedrops I was taking are. This could explain why I had a couple of headaches and bit of pressure inside my eye (correct me if I’m wrong).

But the thing that has made my day is that I asked my consultant if I was able to start driving lessons and he said that if I was able to read a reg plate from 20 meteres, it should be okay. And guess what? Ya boy is gonna book some driving lessons and apply for a provisional. MANS GONNA BE ABLE TO DRIVE NOW!!
