The holidays were great. It was very nice to get home after being gone for a month. The Dr. appt. before I left was great. I was given the OK to drive and also a note saying I can go back to work part time. I was excited to get back to normal.
I worked a two day shift just after getting back. I loved it! I so love being in the hospital. I don't know everything yet, but I love learning, and taking care of babies and children I worked with GREAT coworkers. I was excited to think about getting back into nursing.
Unfortunately my exciteent did not last. I came to realize that I was not safe to care for patients on my own, and had to terminate my contract at the Childnrens Hospital. I have shed many tears over this decision. I know it is what is best and safest for all involved, and I can be home with my children and focus on healing, bt I did so love taking care of sick children and their families. It made me feel like I was doing something worthwhile.
Now I will focus on doing worthwhile things in my own home again. My kids and husband have been withouut mom for awhile, so I will redouble my efforts to provide balance in our home while I heal.
I can see well when I put drops in my eyes, but the results are only for five minutes or so before the improved vision fades. My right eye is fair, I can make out big words if they are highly contrasted. The left eye still sees ghosting, but I have only one sutre that has been removed from it, so over time and continued suture removal, it should improve on the ghosting and vision.
My Dr. suggested I purchase some ove the counter glasses in different perscriptions to see if they help muy vision. I can't find a deffinate perscription that helps. So I am going without glasses for now.
My eyes having such improvement with drops led me to think the hot, dry air that is blowing through heating vents in my house and other buildings may be causing increased dryness. I am trying a humidifyer for increased moisture to see if that improves my vision.
I think overall, all is well. Dr. is happy with the progress, no sign of rejection, healling is doing fine. I am coming to realize that miracles sometimes take longer than one might want, but hope keeps me going. I am praying for increased patience.
Happy New Year
