I just recieved the most distraught news a parent could here on Friday. My 15 year old son has Glaucoma, the same eye disease I have that caused me to go blind. His eye physician checked his ocular pressure on Friday and it was very high. He has been closely monitored by his physician for a year now since he was diagnosed with Glaucoma. Friday morning she checked his optic nerve and said that the Glaucoma has done some damage to the nerve. How much she does not know but it is damaged. She will be doing a visual field test in a couple of weeks to determine if any vision has been lost. He does have to have eye surgery though. The eye medication that she had him on is not keeping the pressure stablized. He has gone through a slew of eye drops since his first diagnosis. I pray that my son will not go blind from this dreadful eye disease. I pray that the surgery will be successful and his ocular pressure will be stablized and not go up any further. The technical term for what he and I have is progressive advanced open angle Glaucoma.

Oh, Suzie, that is horrible, terrible news. I could not, as a parent myself, bear to here something like that.

I don't know what to say, other than to offer my most sincere and humble prayer that your son retains his sight. I know you must feel powerless to do anything,

but I trust that the doctors will do everything they possibly can.

My heart goes out to you. You and he will be in my thoughts.

Keep your hopes up, Suzie. Good things happen to good people, and you're good people.

HUGS

Suzie,

Sweetheart you know that your big sis is praying for you and your son.

I know all about glaucoma but mine is held in check with eye drops alone while my mother's did damage before detected and had required multiple surgeries but she has not suffered any more sight loss.

Hopefully the surgery will do the trick.

Love ya,

Sally

Thank you everyone for your support and prayers. I have learned that he has lost some vision in his left eye, how much we do not know until he has his visual field test on the 18th of Feb. At this date we will know more about when the surgery will be scheduled.

Hugs,

Suzie

I will continue to pray for his sight. Hopefully he has only lost minimal sight and the surgery can save what he has left.

Love,

Thank you Sarah. I'm hoping the same and will find out on the 18th of this month, which is coming up shortly.

Hugs,

Suzie

      Reasonable expectations when starting HRT in your 50s

      By MaybeRob · Posted

      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .

      Reasonable expectations when starting HRT in your 50s

      By EasyE · Posted

      I started feminizing HRT about 6-7 weeks ago. I began with what I called the beginner's patch. I immediately found myself wanting to level up to the next dose and did that this week (yay!). So far, I am enjoying the ride.   I've read everything I can find on this topic. For the HRT vets on here, what is reasonable to expect in terms of physical changes for someone starting in their 50s? I know "your mileage may vary." I guess I am curious if I stay on my current trajectory for six months, a year, multiple years, how pronounced will the physical changes be? Will I reach a point where it is totally obvious or will I land in a "middle zone" somewhere in which I could pass either way?   Thanks! Like I said I am enjoying the ride so far and always curious to know others' experiences. Not sure anyone else in my life will be excited about these moves I am making, but I have been over that in many places on here already so need to rehash... Love and blessings to all!   Easy

      Being admitted into the hospital after a long ER visit. I started passing lots of blood and they are keeping me for observation.    Nurse came in to see about a condom catheter, that of course doesn't work on me. 🤣   She said, "I guess we will use incontinence supplies on you."

      Appeals Court: State Health Ins Plans (Medicaid) Must Cover Trans Care

      By Ivy · Posted

      Yeah.  I think this is what it is about.  Since they are not transgender, nobody else could possibly be either.  I'm not sure that a cisgender person can understand being transgender.  But that hardly means that a transgender person's experience is not real - just because it is not theirs. Why is a transgendered person's experience not valid, while a cisgendered person's is?  Why should it be the cisgendered person that decides? Nobody is forcing a cis person to transition.  What I do for myself is my own business.

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I've been thinking it is a matter of belief.  They simply do not believe someone can validly be transgender and should not be allowed to practice their beliefs, but should be forced to practice their belief, that is, that there is no such thing as transgender and it is all mental illness/sin/hormonal imbalance.

      I am really kind of sick of everybody who is not transgender deciding on what we need and do not need in the way of procedures. They act like all of this is play acting, and we can just apply cosmetics to our entire body. It might be refreshing if someone asked us directly what services we need in order to transition. I could say more as I am frustrated, but I do not want to violate the TOS.
