An eye has gone bung again

Why is it always this time of year and on a weekend this stuff happens? Last year I had a clot in a vein in the back of my left eye. Over time it has repaired itself but was very worrying. My vision in the eye that time was like gray snow.
Yesterday I thought I would pull a couple of weeds out of the pathway. I only lasted about 5 minutes and I got dizzy and nauseous and ran out of energy so I came inside and in about an hour on a Saturday I had a black furry line in my right eye vision. Through the rest of the day and now on Sunday the black fuzz has increased. No drops are helping so first thing Monday morning I will be going to see if I can see the optometrist specialist. I hope they aren't away for Christmas break yet. It is no good going to the hospital as I tried that last year and they have no specialists for eyes. 
My mum says the cancer is gone, get out and do the normal things I used to do but every time I do something bad happens so I am going to say at this table with my computer and fan and jigsaw puzzle and not move, it's safer.

  • Oh Brenda I do so feel for you! I just went through s*** with the hospital-acquired antibiotic resistant bladder infection which I brought home with me as a souvenir along with the scars and drains and the rest. Now I am still struggling with decisions about chemo so I am very new to this madness, but I can see that it begins the minute after the diagnosis and probably never ends after that. I feel afraid to go into the garden because the super-strength antibiotics I am on make me dizzy and I am supposed to keep out of the sun. I know exactly what you mean about staying at the table. I am spending as much of today as possible on the sofa with the computer and the television on (but the sound off) in the background. Luckily am in the mountains, beautifully cool, don't need a fan!
