YA, THE EYE THING.
After my first Clipping this last December, everything came out fine, both eyes came through great.
However two days later, after the angiogram relieved an other hidden aneurysm, they had to do clipping number two.
Right eye not so good, pupil would not change with light, lid was sticking and when I looked in the mirror,
the left eye was looking right back at me, but that right eye was looking at some cob web above the top right corner of the medicine cabinet.
Not so good for an electrician who works inside 480 volt motor control centers.
The first word out of my ophthalmologist's mouth was "BUMMER". We can hope, but I don't think it will come back.
My neurologist was far more optimistic, OH THAT WILL COME BACK IN ABOUT FIVE MONTHS.
FEAR NOT, PPHNXXSUN. IT DID and have faith yours will too.
Within 3 months my eye came back into position, I still have double vision out around the edges, that he also assures me will return in time. My vision is still a little blurry in that eye but it is coming around.
It is tough for me to get my head wrapped around the REALITY that this Brain Surgery thing is a 1 to 2 year heal.
Wear a path when driving, but for the most part keeping it moving helped for me. I put the patch on and off a lot in the beginning, and it slowly became less and less.
Here is the deal.
THERE IS NO PLAY BOOK FOR THIS SHIT AND EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. Your not going to get a pat answer from anyone, especially the DR'S.
Give it time, try and stay CALM, It is tough, but try and keep the stress from bringing anxiety and disrepair into your head.
That's where I'm at now, and getting my head back to clear and positive is proving to be a bigger issue than
a messed up eye.
BUMMER.
God's speed to ya,
Gibbs
