I guess it's time for an update.

I've taken my writing off-line for awhile because I've been dealing with a lot of emotions lately, and I wasn't all that eager to share them.

First I should fill you in on my 6 year scans. With the 5 year they found fluid around lungs and enlarged lymph nodes, in year 5.5 the fluid is gone and the lymph nodes showed tiny changes to the smaller side. At year 6 they found the lymph nodes hadn't changed, but this time, I had spots on my liver. They scheduled an mri for two weeks later and that shows (and I quote): what appears to be cysts but it's too small to say definitively. Closely watch with future mri's". So I still haven't gotten the all clear, and I still have to go back in again in 6 months.

The PROSE lens wasn't helping, so they gave me two options, told me to think it over and come back in 6 months. My options were continue to deal with the slowly declining vision, or have a corneal transplant.  So I made my decision after the third time I had to pull over while on the highway cause something got into my good eye and affected my vision and I had to run my eye to get it out (totally not safe to do while driving, cause I can't really see anything out the bad eye). So I'm going to have the corneal transplant. They won't be using a real cornea from a donor, it will be plastic (i think, it's been awhile since the appointment), less chance of rejection.

I'm working with Dr Marsh at Marsh Family Dental to find a solution to my teeth issues. I see her Monday to get more information, so be on the look out for that update.

I've been having problems when it comes to food, everything I eat feels like it's sitting in my chest, making it hard to eat much of anything, so they want me to see a GI doctor.

Sorry this post is all about facts and information, but sometimes, I just don't like my emotions so I switch them off.

Be well all...
