That's good! That they won't have to go back, anyway.
And aw. Do you deal with it ok? My only other condition is strabismus. Turned in eye, finally cosmetically fixed. But no depth perception. Makes driving fun.
Sad though, I spent years trying to get Magic Eye books...only to find out I physically couldn't. Or see 3D movies. :/
Don't you love how having one Condition just isn't enough? Seems we always have something else? Haha
I'm dealing with it as best as I can. I take it moment by moment really. I was diagnosed in 2009 and it came as a total shock because I'd been told growing up that it couldn't be passed down. I found out at Diagnosis that there is a 5% chance. I'm not crazy about the Shots (I have to take an Injection every other day, luckily my Husband does it because I can't even look at Needles!), but if it slows the progress, I'm for it. My Mother has had it since she was 16, and has been bedridden for the last nearly 29 years now.
Your Condition doesn't seem fun either! What got me to the Hospital in the first place (before Diagnosis of MS) was Optic Neuritis and it was scary. Is that the same type of thing? (things seemed like they were jumping out at me with my right eye) I had to wear an eye patch for 9+ weeks because I couldn't see straight.
