UPDATE FROM PAM
(PLEASE FORGIVE IT IS A COPY AND PASTE)

TODAY (7TH UUGUST ) I WENT TO A SPECIALIZED SIGHT EXAMINATION. I AM NOT IMPROVING AND MY BRAIN SURGEON WANTED ME TO GO TO GO HAVE THIS DONE TO GIVE A "BASE LINE" HE COULD REFER TO AT MY NEXT APPOINTMENT WITH HIM ON 18TH SEPTEMBER.

THE LEFT-SIDE NEGLECT PROBLEM en.wikipedia.org/WIKI/HEMISPATIAL_NEGLECT HAS BEEN CAUSING VERY BAD FALLS AND SERIOUS HEAD BANGS.AND POSSIBLY THE AWFUL DIZZINESS

I WENT TO THE EXAMINATION WITH A HOPE IN MY HEART THAT THEY COULD HELP ME WITH MY SIGHT.

AFTER TESTING THE OPTOMETRISTS DECIDED THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME PROPERLY AND THAT I NEEDED TO SEE ANOTHER ONE WHO SPECIALIZES IN SIGHT PROBLEMS CAUSED BY MAJOR STROKES. THEY ARE NOW REFERRING ME TO SUCH AN OPTOMETRIST , A DR PATEL AT THE DEAN MARIE EYE INSTITUTE.. AN APPOINTMENT HAS NOW BEE ARRANGED FOR SEPTEMBER 4TH.
THEY ALSO HAVE REFEREED ME TO A DIFFERENT SPECIALIST WHO IS ABLE TO WORK IN SPECIAL GLASSES THAT CAN HELP LEFT-SIDE NEGLECT. THESE GLASSES HAVE FRESNEL / PRISMATIC LENSES ... www.hemianopsia.net/HEMIANOPSIA-EYEWEAR

THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE DONE MUCH RESEARCH INTO. ALSO AS A PASSIONATE LOVER OF LIGHTHOUSES FOR MANY YEARS.. I KNOW MUCH OF THESE SMAZING PRISMATIC LENSES AS THEY ARE/WERE WHAT IS IN THE LANTERM OF ALL LIGHTHOUSES ! THIS APPOINTMENT WILL BE AFTER SEEING THE FIRST OPTOMETRIST.

TODAY FOR ME YET GAIN, WAS A DAY OF SOME DISAPPOINTMENT AS I HAD HOPED FOR AT LEAST SOME INSTANT SIGHT HELP. I KNOW THAT WAS NOT A REALISTIC HOPE ! . I KNOW I HAVE COME FAR BUT I NEED TO MEND MORE.

THIS NIGHTMARE DRAGS ON. THANKYOU ALL FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT. IT IS A LIFE-RAFT THAT WITH OUT WHICH I WOULD DROWN.

THANKOU

PAM

OH PAM, PLEASE DON'T DESPAIR, I'D FORGOTTEN ABOUT MY SIGHT APPOINTMENTS - IT'S SOMETHING I DIDN'T REMEMBER (THAT'S PART OF THIS BRAIN HAEMORRHAGE TOO) I HAVE DIZZY SPELLS, AND I WON'T WALK ANYWHERE WITHOUT EITHER MY TROLLEY OR STICKS IN CASE I FALL. YOU DO GET USED TO IT I PROMISE. I FIND THAT I CAN'T FOCUS TOO WELL, SO I DON'T DO IT - I TEND TO ALLOW MY EYES ROAM SLIGHTLY THAT WAY I DON'T FEEL TOO GIDDY. IT'S BEEN 11 YEARS NOW SINCE MY BRAIN PROBLEM AND I DO LIVE A LOVELY LIFE BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING YOU DO GET USED TO. YOU WILL FIND OTHER WAYS OF DOING THINGS WHICH DON'T AFFECT YOUR BALANCE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YOU MIGHT GET GLASSES WITH SIDES, BUT I STOPPED WEARING THOSE AFTER A WHILE. I STILL HAVE THEM AND I'M THINKING OF DRESSING THEM UP WITH STICK-ON DIAMANTE JEWELS BECAUSE THEY AREN'T EXACTLY GORGEOUS!!!

I'M PLEASED TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE STILL PAM. AS LONG AS YOU DON'T LOSE THE ESSENCE OF YOU, THEN ANYTHING ELSE ISN'T IMPORTANT. PLEASE DON'T FEEL TOO DESPONDANT OVER IT SEEMING TO TAKE A LONG TIME - DON'T FORGET - IT'S A DAMN SIGHT BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE AND WE ARE JUST PLEASED YOU ARE STILL HERE WITH US.

Pam you are an inspiration, in spite of the down days and dark nights you find that strength deep down inside to face the next day. We are all there with you even though we are scattered across the world. Be well my English friend, as I have said before, "Somedays it feels like it's all one can do to hang in there from day to day ... just don't let go! I know of course that you do your utmost to be positive, not an easy task! hugsss, xx

que dire mon amie.???
je sais combien cette situation est difficile pour toi,mais comme tu le dis toi même tu reviens de loin !
pour ce qui est du cerveau ,étant passé par une grave opération moi aussi je peux dire que c'est long pour une reprise total ! il faut se contenter des progrès acquis et ne pas vouloir a tout prix en faire d'autres.
je te souhaite tout plein de bonnes choses !
