It’s true that you don’t hear from me often these days but that’s because nothing new has been happening. Yea! Today I had my six-month checkup with Dr. Opth. Well, actually it’s been closer to 8 months because I was slow to make the appointment.
I got the drops in my eyes that make them appear yellow and, somehow, make it easier for Dr. Opth to see into my eyes with his machines. Once again, I got the all-clear! Dr. Opth told me that he wants to see me again in six more months and, if my eyes are still looking good, we’ll move to annual checkups.
Since Thanksgiving will represent two years from my last surgery, Dr. Opth plans to do some research to see if he can find any statistics about the chance of recurrence once someone has gone past the two-year mark. I don’t know if there have even been enough cases to create reliable statistics but we’ll see what he can find.
I hope all of you out there that have been going through something similar are doing as well as I am these days!
Congrats on your two year mark.Here’s to many more!
I am sure there will be!
