I went to see the cornea specialist this morning. Great news! There is a minimal ulcer on my left cornea, but it is much better than before the surgeries!
Dr, Johnson told me to continue using the Bacitracin/Polysporin in my left eye four times a day, along with all the other usual drops in both eyes, for one more week. He wants to see me back in one month.
He did say that the only criticism he has is that he doesn't think Dr. Martin did enough to protect my corneas. He thinks Dr. Martin should have narrowed the eye opening even more. But, he said, with special care and continued lubrication, I might not have to have any more surgery.
Dad and I told him that we were going to get the Wiley X protective glasses, and he said great!, that's an excellent idea. The more protection I get, the better.
Dad and I then went to the optical place in the same building, on the second floor. We ordered the glasses with transitional lenses, so they'll darken when I'm outside, but I can still wear them inside as well. The girl there said they should be delivered in about two weeks. She is going to ship them to the Greenwood office, so we can pick them up there. We won't have to drive all the way to the north side to get them. Dad was very relieved!
So... so far, so good! I'll keep up the TLC and see what Dr. Johnson says on November 7!
Until then, thank you for your prayers! And keep them coming!
Love and thanks to all,
Deb :)
