Further Update on the eyes.

Sally had quite a few tests done yesterday. The fluorescein angiogram did show lots of "aneurisms" on her retina and confirmed the swelling of her retina, particularly in the right eye.

Dt. Mein did go ahead and begin the laser treatments for the damage spots caused probably by the diabetes.  He "lasered" over 500 spots in her left eye yesterday.  He said he'll do about a thousand in her right eye beginning Monday.  She'll require probably two treatments for each eye to heal the spots.  As we understand this, these laser treatments may not significantly improve her vision.  Rather, they are to hopefully slow future damage.  In addition after the laser treatments, surgery will likely be required to repair the retina swelling in the right eye.  The laser needs to be done first.

She also had a Vision Field test that shows deterioration in her right eye which ironically is her best eye.  This field loss is in the lower quarter of the eye and might have been caused by a drop in blood pressure during her heart surgery.  There's no way to know the cause, for sure.

This is a lot for Sally to process at once.

Sally was a little tired yesterday.  We spent the entire morning at the doctor's office, but her spirits are good.
