Re: Failure
Lea
This is bad news and I am so sorry. I know that you will be concerned about whether you could have prevented this outcome by having a more sedate approach to life in the days and weeks after your first graft.
Where you are is where you are; worrying about what you could have done differently will not transport you to a better place. Take things as they come. If you need another operation, then another operation will take you a step nearer to where you want to get: good eyesight and pain free eyes.
Do let us know how you get on. In the meantime I am sure that everybody here is on your side as you face this new challenge.
Yours aye
Andrew
