My Eyes- the Viewpoint of my World

Posted on March 8, 2010 at 4:40 PM

In August 2009, I was diagnosed with minor retinopathy.  (You can read my earlier blog about this)  I had hemorrages in both my eyes and they threatened to get bigger... in the end would make me blind.  I'm 25 years old, Type 1 for 12 years.

 

This past Saturday, I had a folllow up appointment at the eye doctor and good news:  The hemorrages are gone!  Every last one of them!  It's been 6 months since my retinopathy complication diagnosis and now the hemorrages are gone!  All of my work has NOT been in vain!

 

I have a cloud in the left eye, behind the pupil (another form of retinopathy) but the doctor is hopeful that that, too, will clear up within the next couple of months.


On my road back to being "normal."

Or, as normal as I can be.

thats scary...one of my worst fears of t1d is that.

Yeah to not be able to see. That's fucked up. How the hell would I write if I can't see??
My biggest fear w T1D was always amputations.
