Marjorie, this all sounds like you are talking about George He also is a diabetic and has glaucoma. He has macular occlusion. Has had 3 laser surgeries on his left eye. The surgeries were to destroy the extra blood vessels that were forming. He has been on drops for the glaucoma they are either working too well or the eye is atrophying.The pressure in the blind eye was at 5 2 wks ago. All drops were dc'd we see the eye dr again in another 2wks. You are right it sure seems never ending. On top of diabetes, glaucoma rare type of artheritis hert problems George now has been told that he has severe blockage in the main arteries in both legs. He is having an arteriogram at 8:30 this morning. Sure hoping this doesn't mess up his Parkinsons. That is the one pace he has not had any new problems. Oh he gets weaker and more tired all the time .I did not set out to write a tome of gloom. Guess I just needed to get this all out. George and I are usually able to discuss most everything. This has just seemed to be something neither of us want to be vocal about our very real fears. Since last Thurs when we got the rsults of the doppler we have just beena tad withdrawn from reality. This is not our usual way of handling trauma. Thanks for being a place to come where I know someone will listen.and usually understand. Hugs, Juanita CG for George 74/71/64
