Hi all,

As usual, I'm sorry for the lack of posts over the past couple of months. But not a lot has happened. Well... maybe some, but small improvements!One difference some frequent readers may know is that I changed from Tumblr to WordPress. It's mainly down to not really digging Tumblr as a whole, and preferring WordPress' way of publishing stuff.Over the last few months, I've noticed that my eyesight is slowly but surely getting better. The sister and I went to see both League of Gentlemen in Oxford & Janelle Monae at The Roundhouse. Now for LoG, we were row A, bang in the middle with a beautiful view. So luckily I didn't strain my eyes as much as I usually would.But a couple weeks later, we went to see Monae at The Roundhouse, in the middle of the standing area. Now I usually have to strain a lot from the distance we were from the stage, but I could see Janelle, her dancers and her band with perfect ease. I could see small facial details, and I never felt so happy to be seeing what I was.The big update is that I finally have a date regarding my refractions appointment. It's in December, and I hope it's very positive. I believe I'm not seeing my consultant before then, most likely in the new year, but it's nice going back just before Christmas as I give the team snacks and gifts around Xmas. As you have to show them some appreciation for the hard work they put in.I need to do another update shot on my eye. Both front and side to compare with before, during and after transplant surgery. So I hope to do that soon.

But for now, take care!

Date for Incision Surgery

As always, sorry for the lack of blogging on this page. But for the past year or so, there hasn’t been much progress or anything.

Until now!!!

I finally got a date for my incision date to fix my astigmatism in my left eye which received a cornea tissue donor back in 2015. 

Although this is still baby steps, it’s definitely a point in the right direction. I can’t wait to, hopefully, start the path of getting better eyesight. I am missing doing some of the basic things in life without either not having that good enough eyesight to see, have headaches from all the eye-straining I have to do and etc, etc. 

I have forgotten the exact name of the procedure I am having, however, I did find a YouTube video (NSFW and not for the squeamish) which should give you the right idea of what they’ll do. If I’m correct in remembering, the average incisions my consultant has made to his clients has been around 2. However, for me, it’s probably going to be around 6. Ouchhhh! 

But anyway, the future is bright, and at least some positive stuff is about to start.
