that just sucks. definitely get yourself a lawyer. there is no way whoever is responsible should get away with being so careless.

...I hope that you have a full recovery.

fantasyislander said:

Oh, honey...I'm sending lots of prayers your way... please see a lawyer...you need that hospital to pay for you to have the best possible care to save your vision...PLUS compensation for what you've dealt with already AND what you may have to deal with in the future.

applekisses said:

thank you sweetheart

i have called a lawyer... they said we need to see what happens in the next few days/weeks/months


i'll keep you updated

This sucks.



This has got to be scary. You have an amazing attitude. Hang in there. . .

nakedpianoplayer said:

man i really really hope this gets better. but if it doesn't and if you file a claim (which you should if the damage is permanent) from here on in you should document EVERYthing you do with regard to this issue. keep copies of written correspondence, tape phone calls to your doctor/s (let them know you are doing this depending on the laws in your state) and jot down daily notes like a diary record of how your sight is improving or not improving.

or not. y'know, maybe the better course is getting better and focusing on that part of your life.

i understand what you are saying, i really do



right now, im am trying to maintain a positive attitude and i am telling myself that this will heal and life will go on.


i know that the possiblity is there that this could be a lifetime problem, and that makes me very sad.


i am also aware that the doctor is to blame for this and that i will HAVE to be compensated in some sort of way if my vision does not return to what it was before i was injured....

so, right now im doing everything i am told by the doctors, i am hoping for the best, and i am trying to keep a good attitude - but i am also keeping every single piece of paper having to do with this and every conversation gets notes, JUST IN CASE the situation becomes one that would leave me different than i was before



seriously, im sooooo happy that the pain is gone i cant hardly tell you guys what thats like. seems carrie has a good idea how that feels, but until you've felt it its hard to explain. i guess i am at risk for problems over the next month with the cornea falling away again... but i am confident that wont happen, its just to much pain to do twice lol.


now, dont get me wrong... i say im trying to keep a positive attitude and all, but today i tried to do my jewelry and i cant even see the hole to put the wire through... i called my mom crying. that was highly frustrating. but, again, with this im hoping that in a few days this will get easier...


i do understand the part about protecting myself, and i really appreciate all of you guys standing up for me.... i can tell you that i have a lawyer, and that time has to pass before we know what to do. also, the appointment tomorrow will tell us more as to what action we take.... do trust, if this is permanent damage, i will be all over his ass


again, i really cant tell you guys how nice it is to see all these lovely messages, its like getting tons of 'get well' cards it means a lot to me, and i thank you all so much

NPP

NPP, I think your strength and attitude are absolutely incredible.

Take care of yourself and please keep us updated with how this turns out. I wish you all the very best.

Much love,

Ax

sending all my love to that eye...

good news/bad news...


well, the FANTASTIC news is that its not in the retina thats ever so wonderful to hear


the bad news is that the cornea is not healing properly, and that is of concern. but, remember that even if my cornea NEVER heals, and is totally messed up... they can replace it with a donor one and things should go back to normal (that of course being the worse case)


so, big sigh of relief from me today.... i have incredible respect for those who have to live with retina damage, it is something that i dont know if i would be strong enough for. i have spoke to someone with that issue, and i appreciate your help and wish the very best for you honey


more time, more time, more time.... that was the answer today.



NPP

Hi sweetie ~ wow you've been through so much. I'll send as many prayers and all the positive energy I can that your eye and your psyche fully recover. Here's a little idea ~~~~~ print this thread out to go along with your documentation if it comes to needing an attorney ~ it's an emotional chronicle of what you've had to endure! and much love.

YAYYYYY!!!!

This is great news! So, either way you will get your vision...through healing or through a donor.

I truly believe there is power in the prayer of Orgers...

Naked, I haven't been here - I didn't know about this. My prayers are with you honey!

nakedpianoplayer said:

That is so great, I'm so happy for you, lets just hope you don't have to go through surgery and that your cornea will heal
My thoughts are with you, hang in there hun

MoonSongs said:

its is something to read isnt it ? lol... when i look back over this, i remember those days and how much PAIN i was in - it was really horrible... from now on, all of you out there PROTECT YOUR EYES !!!!! when they are hurt, its not fun.


today brings some even better news.... my vision is improving its only a slight improvement, but its an improvement all the same, and i will take ANY good news at this point

in my most sincere heart of hearts i want to thank all of you for your kind words, they really did help to bring some happiness on some pretty hard days. this place is strange, its only a website, but in the end, its a place where people get to know each other and really do care about the wellbeing of the folks around them.....

thank you again, im a little emotional today so forgive the mushy stuff lol...

NPP

I'm so glad your sight is getting better, and that the situation is improving!

I'm still hoping and praying that you'll have a full recovery.

Kelley, just to brighten your day..... enjoy

thanks guys









<---- see ? both eyes - arent they pretty together ?

Glad youre feeling better hon

nakedpianoplayer said:

Good news indeed!

Just an idea... a bit of meditation for your recovery... what does your sight mean to you, metaphorically speaking?

(I believe in milking all I can out of so-called "bad" experiences... they teach us so much!)

Bisous.

nakedpianoplayer said:

AWWWWW, thanks emm



todays the second WONDERFUL day without the patch - still see doubles of stuff and my vision is very blurry, but hey, its GREAT not being trapped inside that horrible thing

nakedpianoplayer said:

No need to apologize, you've been to hell and back lately, so you have the right to be emotional. Glad to hear that your vision is improving, and hope that you make a full recovery.

Much Love and hugs for you.

psychodelicide said:

Don't apologize Nekky! is from the heart and from my heart I'm so happy that your vision is improving. I'll continue to pray that your recovery is complete!!

Imagine waking up to all those sexy freckles..mmm.

nakedpianoplayer said:

Yaaaay!!! I'm so very happy for you. I hope time does the trick hon, but if you need the transplant, I hear that's a fairly easy surgery.
You're still in my prayers.

Continued good wishes for your full recovery.
