I'm sorry your own experience with macular degeneration tured out like it did and wish you luck at the opthalmologist tomorrow.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-49509233916540352732010-04-28T22:32:47.005-05:002010-04-28T22:32:47.005-05:00I'm sorry you have macular degeneration.

Mine was the dry type and I went to have a cataract removed and one eye turned into the wet kind and to make a long story short, I'm blind in that eye due to retinal edema. Tomorrow I go to a different opthalmolgist to see about taking the cataract off my left eye. I've got my fingers crossed. The retinal specialist did warn me that if I saw flashes of light to call them immediately. You did the right thing.nan16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16273247335538935934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-64235825985971480512010-04-26T16:33:12.255-05:002010-04-26T16:33:12.255-05:00Maria, as much as I'd like to claim bravery, I...Maria, as much as I'd like to claim bravery, I won't lie to you.

I forgot to tell you the best -- and funniest -- part of the whole experience: They told me not to do any vigorous exercise for the next two weeks. That REALLY cracked me up!Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-80276156815774865322010-04-24T09:45:13.497-05:002010-04-24T09:45:13.497-05:00Oh, I love inappropriate laughter!

It almost always occurs when I am very nervous about something, and I guess it is a release, because something will always strike me as hilarious during that time.<br /><br />Thanks for the laugh...and I hope your eye gets better really, really quickly!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-79264039746803376392010-04-23T21:44:08.297-05:002010-04-23T21:44:08.297-05:00That's a funny story!

That reminds me of when Mom and I are waiting at our favorite drive-thru for our lunch or supper, if it takes a long time, we say "they had to go and kill the cow", "pluck the chicken", "go down to the river and catch a fish", and just last week Mom came up with my favorite so far, "they had to go and kill the horse". That one had me laughing for a while. <br /><br />Hope your eye gets all better fast! <br /><br />and I haven't forgotten to post, give me another day or so. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-88429613929459512142010-04-23T20:28:33.056-05:002010-04-23T20:28:33.056-05:00I pray you never are!
