Surgery again

[Janet]

Donna, seems like you're having a heck of a time. It won't be long and you'll be able to get both lenses. I know it has to be so frustrating, most insurance companies are to some degree.

I use to have floaters too, well still do, but I don't notice them much at all anymore. Drove me nuts for a time. I didn't have any surgery, so don't know why they popped up, but at least I don't notice them now.

I will definitely keep you in my prayers.

I hope that things get better soon. Maybe the second surgery will help. I have floaters too. About the only time that I really notice them is when I'm looking at something white. The eye doctor told me that they get worse as you age. Bummer! Humans should come with instruction manuals with these kinds of things in there!!!!!!

Thanks GF's.

Sorry to hear that you're going through this - I hope that the retina specialist will be able to figure out what's going on. Make sure you keep us updated!

I'm sending prayers for you. It sounds like a difficult thing to manage without clear vision. I am praying that the surgery will clear things up quickly.

My friend's grandmother had floaters. She couldn't quite grasp what they were so she would point the big ones out to her granddaughter, who finally gave up arguing and would say things like "Yes grandma, that is a big one!"

That is so funny.
Mine are really bad and so many of them, when I take a drink it looks like bugs are in it, see things crawling around on the cabinets and sometimes I smack the counter, one around the left eye is like a halo around my eye ball.
The Doctor says your brain will learn to ignore them.
I am not sure I would want an old age manual ahead of time, it would be, not so funny.
