Nearly 1 month

So coming this Tuesday it will be a month since I had my transplant.  Not really much has changed with the eye.  I had a check up on Monday just gone which went fine.  There is still fluid between the new cornea and my eye so this is causing the cloudy/blurriness.  It should apparently clear after a month or so.  Also I was prescribed lubrication drops to help smooth out the surface of the eye and they are a real help, less so bumpy when the eye lid goes over the stitches.

One thing that was odd was I was supposed to see the consultant who did the operation but they put me under one of his registrars to apparently save time.  This was a bad move as they were running an hour late but hey ho I could not do much.  The ironic thing was when I eventually got seen, he had to get the consultant who was next to him behind a 1 inch privacy board to come and check my eye anyway so they might as well as left me with the top man.  He obviously agreed with this because he put in capital letters on appointment request sheet "To See him only" next time.

This coming Wednesday I will be back to work so that will be good to have some more routine back as the 4 walls of the house I know very well now.

Anyway back to the eye, after all this is what the blog is about.  Like I said the lubrication drops are helping, theres no pain or anything but does occasionally feel like something is in there.  This is something that should go away in time.  And over the next few months the vision should improve from what it is at the minute.  There is still a bit of redness on the lower right of the eye and again this should clear in time, isnt massively noticeable.

So anything else that the transplant has affected?  It might seem like not bending over as instructed not to when had a graft would be easy but you would be surprised how many things you bend over to do.  Put the washing up back in the cupboards, picking up the clothes to be washed, picking up shoes to put on, and twice a day in our house, feeding our 2 feline friends and they wont wait for anyone!

So what's the next stage?  Have another check up in 2 weeks, all 3 drops are now 4 times a day so id expect that to stay the same for a little while now.  And touch wood in 2 weeks there might be some vision improvement, who knows, Ill take it day by day like normal.  Thanks to all for reading and hopefully is helping in some way to those thinking about having it done.
