Today.....

Well I will start with the good news........ Drum roll please!!!!!!!

I do not have GCA, well 90%, I do not have it. The biopsy came back negetive for it!!! Yeah! No prednisone, at the moment.

Now, what caused me to lose vision? A more than likely stroke. I am to continue with asprin therepy and hope I don't have another one that leaves me blind in that eye, or both. I will be more likely to have another one, but hopely not for a while. My incision on the other hand is infected, as he thinks I am allergic to the disposable stitches he used, so I am now on a antibiotic cream and one by mouth and see him again next week. Man this thing hurts!! I wish I didn't have to wear glasses to see, as the glasses hurt.

Thanks everyone for the prayers. I continue to ask for prayers, as a stroke would also not be good. These pics were taken this evening.





I see a diabetes educator tomorrow, and start with a new endo in May for my diabetes. No matter what I do, this diabetes gets me. I hate being a brittle diabetic!!

God Bless you all!!! I love y'all so much!!!

Quick update!

I just wanted to let everyone know that my doc appointment got rescheduled until tomorrow at 3pm. The doctor had a emergency, so tomorrow is the day. Thanks for the emails and love. Will let y'all know something tomorrow!!

Tomorrow...

Tomorrow I go for my check up after the surgery. I am hoping for good news, that I don't have GCA, but then if I don't have it, it means I have had a stroke in that eye, and the next one may not leave me with my sight in it. It's hard to know what to pray for, but the specialist told me to pray that I didn't have GCA, so that's what I have been doing and ask you to do also. I appreciate all the love and prayers so far. What would I do without my blogger friends? I love y'all so much!! I will let you know something when I know something.

Home

I am home now from my surgery and have a whopping headache!! I was completely awake for the surgery. The doc and I talked about music and stuff. The surgery itself was about 30 minutes. I will not know the results until the earliest Friday. Here is a pic of where they did the surgery.



I am going to lay down now. Thank you for the prayers!!!

Tuesday night late..

My procedure is in the morning at 9:50am. They called today and upped the time, which is fine with me, cause from now until then I can not have any food or liquids. I come asking for prayers and thoughts, that this will be a successful surgery and that I will be OK. I am sure I will but prayers are always good. I love you all!! I will let you know something, soon as I know something. They said the pathology would take a few days.Until Later... Hugs and love all around!!

Request...

For the past couple weeks, I have been having some trouble with my left eye. About a week ago, I saw some bright lights in it, it didn't hurt, so I let it pass. Then a few days later, I was getting dinner ready and all of a sudden I lost vision in my left eye for a minute. Maybe not that long. It was like a window shade was being pulled down 3/4 the way and then let back up. The next day we had a regular scheduled 3 mo check up and I happened to mention to my PCP what happened. He immediately called a specialist and got me in. They ran some tests, asked lots of questions and did some blood work. They are thinking I may have a not so fun, disease called GCA. It's a vessel disease. I have a lot of the symptoms and my labs also indicate something is going on. So on Wednesday March 10th at 11:15am, I will be having a artery biopsy at the temple area. Please if you pray, say a prayer for me. If I have this disease the medication which is prednizone, does not go well with my diabetes, so it will not be a fun situation. Also this disease causes blindness and that really scares me to never see my grand babies faces again. If the biopsy is negative there's still a chance I could still have it. It may have also been a mini stroke in my eye. They just don't know right now.
Also my labs for my diabetes wasn't encouraging. My A1C was 10.2. He is sending me to a special place to handle my medications for the diabetes.

On a good note, the snow is melting!! It has been in the 40's a few days. Still very cold at night but day times it's better. I will be so happy for spring this year. It's been a hard snowy Feb. The 2nd coldest and snowiness Feb in Dayton's history. Is snowiness a word??? LOL

I hope everyone is doing well. If you stopped by, leave me a comment and let me know. It makes my day!!

Until later....

God Bless~
