Another Rejection

[John Smith]

Hello everyone,

On Monday, I woke up and found that I couldn't see out of my right (grafted) eye. I'm virtually blind with the left eye anyway, so that left me more than a little helpless!

I took myself to my local eye casualty unit, and was quickly seen by the consultant who carried out the operation. She was quite surprised by what she saw under the slit lamp - she described it as two bands of surface distortion, and checked for anything under my eyelid that may be scratching the cornea.

Finding nothing odd, she put me on FML steroid drops every 2 hours, which do seem to be helping.

This is now my 6th rejection episode, and my graft was 3 years ago. Do people think that this is going to continue, or will it settle down eventually?

Regards,

John

p.s. Sorry for the forum outage recently. This was caused by a hardware outage I was aware of, but I was unable to fix because I couldn't see!

Hi John,

Sorry can not help on the rejection issue, but you have done well to recover the board so quick considering your sight limitations.

I knew you had bad sight in one eye, but was not aware your grafted eye was bad too.

Hope you make a speedy recovery.
