My Idea

So my idea of one day getting a optic nerve transplant seems like a good idea today more than ever. One day this will be a procedure, well at least I hope it will be. I know it may sound way more difficult than I am hoping but it would be nice. With that said, today I had my big eye exam appointment. I received good news and not so good news. Good news first. Right now my eyes are stable. That is always good to hear that you are good right now. Bad news. I have more permanent damage in my left eye and permanent damage now in my right eye. I can't say that I am shocked because I had three relapses with optic neuritis in December/January. So that really was not a surprise but yet it still is a kicker when you hear the words "permanent damage." Last I knew, the word permanent means forever. Damn it. But what can I do besides what I am doing. Hopefully this new treatment decision will help prevents less damage from happening, not just in my eyes but all over my body. I did ask if I could go blind, and he said worst case scenario. I like that answer but crap that is still scary too! I better really start enjoying that sensory and not take advantage of being able to see! So all of you please do too! So, next appointment is my MRI next week. I look forward and dread that appointment all at the same time. Fingers crossed and pray, pray, pray!!
