had cataract surgery June 6, then complications

[Marthe48]

17. My appt. at Cleveland Clinic went well

3 drs. looked at my eye. One said she didn't think it was M.D. but didn't see any of the common causes of retinal bleeding. (I still think that A: my retina was stable for almost 20 years and B: it started bleeding right after the cataract surgery. To me, A+B= C) The other 2 drs. said it was M.D. I will hope for the best. One of the drs. said I still have excellent vision in the eye, so I hope it'll either stabilize with what I have or get better. She said that once the blood clears up, it'll be better. And new glasses will help. I was surprised at how well I read the eye chart. My left eye is healthy and they see no problems. I am luckier than most.

I saw my pcp and got my b/p med increased and so far, it is much better. Here's a kick: Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Inst. doesn't think b/p is a consideration and they didn't even check it. lol

I got a 2nd shot, which did not feel like someone flicked my eyeball with their fingernail. Ifelt comfortable with the drs, that they were taking care of me and not worried about covering each other's butts. I have an appt for another shot next month. I get to see my best friend when I go, so I'll get a lift each time. She treated me to dinner, drove me to the appt. and we enjoyed catching. She had a kidney transplant in Jan. this year, and I am so happy to see how much better she is.

Thanks again for being so supportive.
