Mariner Fan Posted June 18, 2013 #27 Posted June 18, 2013 Damn Scott, that is weird. Hope the docs can figure out what happened and will fix it.
mother Posted June 26, 2013 Author #28 Posted June 26, 2013 i thank you all for you prayers and well wishes 2 1/2 hour surgery tomorrow to try and repair the retina . doc said no guarantee, but worth a try. i still have one good eye to see my beautiful grandkids:thumbsup2:
chabicheka Posted June 26, 2013 #29 Posted June 26, 2013 Am out of town tomorrow, but anything i can do, in any way, to help, you have my number.
kbran Posted June 26, 2013 #30 Posted June 26, 2013 Will pray it all works out. I lost vision in my right eye in 1979 and have gotten used to it. Never really had a problem driving, you just have to swivel that head a little more to make sure all is well on that side. As was said depth perception can be a problem at times, just be careful of especially stairs. Hope they can do something for you and you don't have to loose it. Kenny
mini-muffin Posted June 26, 2013 #31 Posted June 26, 2013 Hoping all works out for you. Kinda scary how that sort of thing can happen. Margaret
IH Truck Guy Posted June 26, 2013 #33 Posted June 26, 2013 Hey Scott,real sorry to hear this news. Hope the docs can get you fixed up 100%... Shari and I will have you and Sherry in our prayers....
Venturous Randy Posted June 26, 2013 #34 Posted June 26, 2013 Linda and I are thinking about you buddy. Hope everything goes as good as possible. Please keep us posted. RandyA
spear Posted June 26, 2013 #35 Posted June 26, 2013 I feel for ya buddy. I suffered a minor injury to my left eye about 20 years ago to the extent I have permanent blurred vision there. My right eye does the heavy lifting and fortunately I retain my 3D vision. To cap it off a couple of months ago - when I had my eyes checked for new specs my optometrist tod me I have very early (minor) onset of cataracts. Sh'appens eh?
VentureFar Posted June 26, 2013 #37 Posted June 26, 2013 Thoughts and prayers are with you. It is difficult at first but as you are reading here, many have similar sight issues and are able to do what ever they want, just a little more carefully. Good luck. VentureFar...
Wizard765 Posted June 26, 2013 #38 Posted June 26, 2013 We're praying for you Scott. Hopefully they get to it soon enough
mother Posted June 26, 2013 Author #39 Posted June 26, 2013 received a call from the hospital, i go in shortly and they are doing the surgery at 1 pm
Mariner Fan Posted June 26, 2013 #41 Posted June 26, 2013 Hope all goes well with the surgery Scott. We'll be sending positive vibes your way.
saddlebum Posted June 26, 2013 #42 Posted June 26, 2013 Gee I don't know how I missed this thread Scott but I sure am sorry to hear about your dilemma. Hopefully your surgery is a great success so you can have two good eyes again.
cecdoo Posted June 26, 2013 #43 Posted June 26, 2013 Hope all went well, and your sight will be restored:fingers-crossed-emo waiting for good news. Craig
sarges46 Posted June 26, 2013 #44 Posted June 26, 2013 Thinking of ya.....and waiting for positive news.
friesman Posted June 27, 2013 #45 Posted June 27, 2013 As we discussed in the email a couple of days ago, they can do some amazing things with microsurgery on eyes now. I am hoping and wishing for best possible outcomes for you, and have lots of confidence that things will work out great for you. Brian
pmelah Posted June 27, 2013 #46 Posted June 27, 2013 i know its to early to know anything but Scott i think i speak for everybody that we are all worried about you and sending good thoughts and prayers for ya i hope you will be able to read this post with both eyes
Evan Posted June 27, 2013 #47 Posted June 27, 2013 You already know this Scot but I want to repeat it here. Good luck my friend. You deserve it. Hope to see you soon once we get back home from our Venture East, and hope you will "see me" through both eyes by then.
mother Posted July 3, 2013 Author #48 Posted July 3, 2013 My laptop quit, I am on my cell trying to peck out this message. Surgery was four hours as other damage was found. A schleral buckle was installed, scar tissue cleaned up and a couple other things with big names were done. They retina was detached and the attempt to reattach has been done. Face is a bit swollen and some various colours have appeared. Now the healing stage begins , eye patch on . Doc says more surgurys to follow. Man it aches at the moment, but the other eye is enjoying babysitting two grandaughters today. Thanks to all
saddlebum Posted July 3, 2013 #49 Posted July 3, 2013 Glad to hear from you Scot. The fact that surgery was performed at least adds an element of hope. Here's to hope and success to what is obviously going to be very long road. Best of luck to you friend. Prayers sent on your behalf.
Marcarl Posted July 3, 2013 #50 Posted July 3, 2013 Thinking about you on a daily basis, so also am bringing your case before the Almighty Magistrate and the Great Physician.
