fun crap. Since I moved 1400 miles from my previous residence, I
had to locate new doctors, and that wasn't as bad as I thought it'd
be.
The left eye (which had the 2 surgeries) is healing up well, but
the pupil is still dilated, and will be for a few more months. I
lost vision in the upper, lower, and right-hand portion of that eye
due to scarring and retinal detachment (because it took so damn long
for me to actually get the surgery). But any sight is better than
no sight, so I'm fine with that.
I'm going to the eye surgeon on Wednesday to have additional laser
work done on the right eye, which has a bit of bleeding in it now.
I've been monitoring my sugars and insulin doses like a hawk, in an
effort to keep them as close to normal as possible, and thus
preventing further damage.
I've also got to go to a nephrologist on August 3rd (that's a
kidney specialist). As it turns out, my kidneys are functioning at
about 55% capacity. I was told I probably have 5-7 years before I
have to get on dialysis. Joy. At the nephrologist,s I'm going to
see about putting myself on a list to receive both a kidney and
either a pancreas or islet cells (which have been successful in
other diabetic patients, basically eliminating the condition).
Other than that, I've been trying to get this one picture drawn
up, and have thus far drawn it 9 nines over. One version was about
halfway colored when I decided it wasn't good enough, and scrapped
the whole thing. But I'm going to try to get that picture finished
within the next couple days so I can at least have some stuff to
post on the group. It's been mighty quiet around here!
So, hopefully I'll get this next version done properly and then
we'll all have something new to look at! ;)
