Back home with a Pacemaker

 My heart doctor said I had to take sponge baths for 10 days after surgery so I don't get my staples wet. Also, I can't raise my left arm the next 4 weeks. And wear a sling immobilization in bed for the next 4 weeks. No more MRI's!
I have another appointment next week to get my staples out.
We stayed a week with my mother. My youngest brother from Wyoming and oldest brother and SIL came in from Arkansas in at the same time I had my surgery scheduled. My youngest sister lives about a mile from my mother. If only my oldest sister had been at moms we would have all been together, my sister has heart problems and didn't want to fly.  

I didn't receive good news at eye surgeon

 Life has taken all sorts of twists and turns. I'm wanting to get back to using my stamping supplies! 

I thought my bad eye-site was due to having all the migraines and headaches that started December 2015.
Tuesday, May 15, I saw my eye doctor in our town, he tested my eyes for glasses because I was having trouble seeing. When he checked my left eye I couldn't see the screen, it was blue. He used a camera, he said it looks like fluid on the back on my eye. He didn't waste anytime and contacted a eye surgeon in Edmond, Ok so the next day, May 16 we drove down to see him. After filling out a bunch of papers, and then a bunch of photos on my eyes;  he said, there is nothing I can do for eye, I'm not keeping your records so don't come back. In left eye, I see a blue blurry blob in the center and only see a little of the outer perimeter. When I looked at eye doctors screens, all I saw was a blue screen or fuzzy screen when I was supposed to see a hot air balloon or black dots. 

My eye doctor checked me a few months after I was on life support April 2016. And a year after being on life support. Each time he would say, lets wait a little longer till you get new glasses. 

My right eye is 20/25, in my left eye 20/400. 

18 inches from computer is a blur to read. With my new pacemaker, I'm suppose to stay a safe distance away from my computer. I might have to change to a larger print on my computer. 

May and June 2014 I paid extra to get laser surgery so I didn't have to wear eyeglasses. Now with my eye site like it is, the surgeon said he can't correct or improve my eye-site with eyeglasses, surgery, or shots in my eyes. 

Update June 11, 2018, I will need new eye glasses when dear hubby has pacemaker/defibrillator surgery. He ordered me new lenses for clear and sunglasses. On left eye, will be just a lens with no correction, on right eye was an older prescription lens he had done several years back. These glass don't help, when looking down the highway I see double of everything. I can see if its close but not with the glasses. I won't be going back to this eye doctor for that. 

I just can't get a Break

I went to my eye doctor today after having months of flashing lights and small shining circles in my eyes. I thought it was due to having all the migraines since December 2015.  
It had got so bad I was having problems reading or typing. So if you see a typing mistake it's my crazy eyes showing a blank or looks blurry. 
I was run through several test before seeing my eye doctor. He checked my right eye and finally found one lens I could see pretty good but not perfect and then went to my left eye. All I could see was a big blue glob. He took camera shots of both eyes to look behind my eyes. My left eye is much worse. He said I have macular edema. I have a pocket of fluid behind my eyes and I'll need shots in my eyes. 

I told my eye doctor if they wanted to do an MRI, it would have to be soon as I'm having a pacemaker on the 24 of May 2018. He made the appointment for the next day in Edmond, Ok near the Oklahoma Heart hospital when I was on life support (April 2016) and then stayed 15 days across Memorial at Mercy rehab.
After I got home from eye appointment, I read up on macular edema, it says it might have come due to the laser surgeries. I had laser surgery on left eye May 2014 and laser surgery on right eye June 2014 or they said it could be due to a recent fall. I fell December 9, 2017, when I tripped over a cord and fell down hitting my back and head on a hard oak floor. I have daily headaches and back pains and need more surgery on my back.
