I kind of figured that the eye pressure tests were going to be a regular occurrence. Very regular. :D I much prefer the blue glowy thing at the hospital to the puff of air method my optician uses. It's more controlled and I know exactly when it's going to happen rather than bracing myself for the p...

For the same reasons as you Andrew the waiting was the hardest part for me. It's a very strange and surreal place to be in isn't it?

Glad to hear everything else is going well.

Take care, Alison

That's excellent news Jay.

Congratulations.

It's good to hear you sounding so positive Eduardo.

I think the scariest thing is not knowing what's going to happen. If we can get past worrying about what might happen then life is a whole lot easier and a whole lot rosier.

Take care, Alison

Rosemary - thank you for your words of reassurance. I found myself nodding and thinking yes you're right as I read your thoughts about my daughter. Gareth (and everyone else) - have you considered that it might be a good idea for you to get a reference re me and mine before getting into a car with u...

Ooh, I wouldn't mind hearing what they have to say about you. :wink: My eldest has the intimidation thing down pat. :( It doesn't help me that she's taller than me (we won't mention that I'm wider :wink: ). I still don't know where the A45 is. :cry: Have I got to get a map out? Alison (sat here wond...

I walked from the station last time, it was about 20 minutes, but I had had an adverse reaction to my lenses then so could not read a map :D Ah, so you went the scenic route without being able to see any of the scenery then. :P There is a bus from the hospital to the city centre where there are loa...

You think having me as a map reader is a guarantee that you'll end up in the right place? :shock: The rest of the household are having a good laugh at the thought of me map reading - the rotters! Thank you for the offer but if I go they'll drop me off and pick me up. I'm already being asked if there...

Hi Annmarie

I'm new here myself, and even though I was diagnosed something like twenty five years ago I've already learned an awful lot from the people on here - mainly because my knowledge is so out of date.

Anyway, take care, Alison

Only if you're wearing slippers. :P Being serious for a mo I haven't got a clue. I'll look up when and where and let you know. edit - I've looked it up and as Leicester City's game has been moved to Friday night my 'chauffeur' is free so I could - now all I need to do is persuade my girls that they ...
