Hello James,

I'm really sorry to read about your continued problems. I've had many rejection issues myself but I've never had to go in on daily checks. 3 days is the smallest interval I've been left with.

I really hope that your graft recovers, and I have my fingers crossed for you.
John

Hey James

I'm sorry you are having such a rough time.

Like everyone else I am thinking of you, and I hope that things settle down.

James

I cant say I know how you feel with the graft rejection..but I can say I know how you are feeling with one eye failing and the other increasing....

I know this is easier to say then do...but bind your time.......I had very limited vision for about 6-9 months last year.......and then took the graft...

I really do hope things reverse!

Whats the story with the other eye? Is there a plan of action for that?

JAMES JUST WANTED TO DROP BACK IN AND SEE HOW YOU ARE DOING NOW. I KNOW IT IS SCARY, THERE IS ALWAYS SOME FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN AND IT IS DIFFICULT NOT KNOWING WHAT TO EXPECT. AM HOPING THOUGH THAT EVERYTHING WORKS OUT WELL FOR YOU.

TRY AND BE PATIENT (((HUGS)))
