But, I will never miss another appointment to get my eyes checked again-because now I know. And life would be very difficult if I could not see those beautiful flowers.

She has had too many laser surgeries to count.<BR/><BR/>It is becoming more challenging for her to see things. She still drives and I worry about whether it's safe for her to keep doing so. <BR/><BR/>She lives about an hour away from me. So my ability to help her (if she would even accept the help!) by driving her places is pretty limited. <BR/><BR/>In my opinion, my mom wasn't proactive in pursuing her options with health care. I wish she had been more aggressive with her diabetes. She might have avoided the diabetic retinopathy damage if she had acted sooner.<BR/><BR/>The flowers in your picture are absolutely gorgeous, by the way!<BR/><BR/>JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454649048120118507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193664024838510460.post-32320285418477535252008-07-08T20:26:00.000-04:002008-07-08T20:26:00.000-04:00Coolingestar9 I am so thankful that this post was ...Coolingestar9 I am so thankful that this post was able to inform you about glaucoma.
