Apr. 20th, 2006 12:49 pmNote to self:
Do not read any articles on uveitis and pregnancy. Wait until the consultant's appointment--it's only one week away. Quotes such as, "During the pregnancy, Natalie's eyesight deteriorated so much that by the end she couldn't drive, watch TV, read or even cook." are NOT helpful.
Do, however, religiously apply eyedrops and take fish oils.
To my flist:
Never, ever take your eyesight for granted. Get your eyes tested yearly and if you have any problems with them, don't hang around and wait for it to clear up by itself. If it doesn't, you're shafted. You can manage a damaged leg easily enough, you can manage fucked up hands (and I speak from experience on those) but vision loss or deterioration is horrid.
