  • A new battle!

  • Many of you know me from the old board and may not be aware of my current battle.

    I was diagnosed with angle closure glaucoma! Just what I need! I always thought if I went blind completely it would be the RP. But it may very well be glaucoma to take the remainder of my vision.

    I am having surery done tomorrow. They are doing a "two in one" type of thing where they will remove my cataracts at the same time as try to deal with the glaucoma. Hopefully it will work.
