Eight Weeks After Surgery:


PRAISE THE LORD! IT'S BYE-BYE, BUBBLE! After 8 weeks, it's gone! It's actually gone! Yesterday morning it was a tiny black ball bouncing around at the bottom of my vision - and wallah - today it is gone! Yippee! I go back to the doctor on November 2 - four weeks from now. He'll do another OCT image to determine the final outcome with the nerve defect under the closed hole. After that I go back to the opthamologist for a new eyeglass prescription. It will be interesting to see the difference in the acuity 6 months before the macular hole and now.

I'm thanking God that this is almost over and praying that I never have another macular hole. Thanks to all of you for your prayers for my healing - for with God, all things are possible, whether it's Jonah in the whale or the hole in my macula.

  2. Glad to hear you sounding more upbeat. It is indeed fabulous when the bubble vanishes!

    I'm also anxiously awaiting the day when I can get new glasses after my surgery. I'll be very interested to read your upcoming posts to find out what your doctor says.

    In the meantime, keep the faith.
