Back again after eye operation | |
keithgh *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003 | Hello to all on FP The Trabeculectomy operation was a success, the eye pressure is now in the safe zone it went from 29 to 4 within 12 hours. The eye has not recovered fully yet down to one eye drop four times a day now, it started out at nine drops four times a day. When it is fully recovered there is a good possibility the other eye will have to be done as well. I have no choice at all either it gets done or I will go to total blind in that eye. Not much of a choice. For the last couple of weeks I have done basically nothing except stay in bed most of the day. As we have just finished summer it is still very hot and extremely bright outside which means hat and sunglasses every time I go out. As the wife does not drive I still have to drive but littls as possible and certainly no night driving at all Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW |

Dont take risks with your eyesight, make the old lady take a bus or some taxis. You only get the two of em after all, and not being able to look at fish and use the internet- gee, it just aint worth it! Feel no guilt at being selfish for this one, take care of no 1! |

I was wondering yesterday where you were off to, though I thought maybe just a vacation or something. Take care of your eyes and don't overdue it. Jim |

Lindy Administrator Show me the Shishies! Posts: 1507 Kudos: 1350 Votes: 730 Registered: 25-Apr-2001 | I was beginning to wonder where you were Keith. I had planned to ring and check up on you next week if you didnt surface again. Good to see you back, and take care of those eyes. Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes. |

FRANK Moderator Posts: 5108 Kudos: 5263 Votes: 1690 Registered: 28-Dec-2002 | Hi Keith, It was good to chat with you last night. I looked up the procedure, and I hope that your prognosis is good. Remember, no bending and no heavy lifting weight over a certian number of pounds (stresses the eye). That means that you need to leave the flower garden, tank pruning and water changes with buckets to your wife, or let them grow. Or use a syphon.

keithgh *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003 | Thank you for all those replies. I am finding it funny not having to use eye drops in that eye after 20+ yeras. I can tell you I certainly appreciate not living on mild pain killers. Back to gym tomorrow just a swim (with goggles) and a quick sauna and then a spar, its such a hard life I live then out to lunch with the wife. Again thank you all for your concerns.

FRANK Moderator Posts: 5108 Kudos: 5263 Votes: 1690 Registered: 28-Dec-2002 | Hi, I sincerely hope that you are not sparring with that eye.. I'd suggest to you that it is entirely too early to risk being smacked in that eye. That could cause you to have to have the surgery redone, or complicate matters so much that additional surgery of any kind to the eye would be fruitless..

keithgh *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003 | I think there is a little bit of confusion about the word "Spar" A Spar in Aust is a very hot small swimming pool(the gym one can fit up to 15 adults) or a large water container for ??? number of people depending on the size. They blow air bubbles through the water and it is extremly relaxing. Some might call them a bubble bath which is basically a big bath with soap added.
