On the go way too much lately. Found out in late August DW has cataracts in both eyes. Told by the eye Dr. that the ACTH and other steroids she received when first DX acted like "yeast" and just fed the cataracts.
We just got back from Chi-town where we saw a Neuro-Opth to get a 2nd opinion. Concerned about her losing all up close vision. He checked her over and told us that it would be OK to go ahead. Taking the lens out gives you a clean slate so to speak and her vision would be just fine needing reading glasses. Another problem faced and beat down.
I can't say this too much, this is my partner, my love and I will do whatever I can to fight this thing.
On a side note I want to share this with all of you. On Sunday my son called, said something came up he had to talk to us about, so could I go by "Mom" and put the phone on speaker.He told us his DW was "pretty sick the Dr. told her she had a "virus", but not to worry it would be gone in about 270 days. So don't worry Grandma & Grandpa."
The look of joy on my DW's face was beyond all I could imagine. She told me that when she was Dxed all she could think of was she would NEVER enjoy a "normal" life and now she's going to have a grandchild. Seeing her and hearing the love pouring out at that moment made this whole fight for 35 years worth it.
The rewards we all will get is worth it, hang in there, "don't give up, don't EVER GIVE UP"
best to you all my "family" here
