new year new rejection update for all

Postby james mckinlay » Tue 10 Jan 2006 10:57 pm

first thanks all for the wishes of luck it helped me a great deal i havent been able to post properly as i suffered a new rejection to my right eye i have been in hospital for 4 days from it with the iv steroid and hourly drops, i am slowly getting back on my feet the iritis has slowed but the photophobia is still as bad as ever oh well.

also i got a new mobile phone and found a nokia 6630 helpfull it uses a good size display but i also got software called mobile magnifier which u can guess what it does it makes all the menu bigger and ur text messages and any function the mobile does as a partially sighted person its a godsend. also the phone lets you type ur txt messages on a pc and send them.

anyways i have started on a log of previous rejections and hope to post this soon sight permitting.

thanks again everyone

Sorry to hear this! Has the situation improved as the days have gone on?..as in do you have better vision from it?....or has the rejection rejected! so to speak!

KC is about facing the challenges it creates rather than accepting the problems it generates -

My grandfather ended his life on the Ellan Vannin! He lived in Peel. He has been dead now for many years, but the Isle of Man still feels a bit like an extension of home!
