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

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By Willow · Posted

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️

      Good morning, everyone!! I was up early again - already on my third cup of coffee having walked/fed the dog and read the local paper.   We have a birthday party for a friend to go to this afternoon but no real plans otherwise.   I hope to be able to attend tonight's TGP Zoom session. It's been weeks since I've been able to participate with the illness/loss of our dog, two horrible colds in succession and our trip to chase the solar eclipse.   Have a wonderful day and look for the goodness in it.
