Upcoming surgery
 
Hello, I had eye doctor appt today and was told to go and see RCM in Southfield, MI. Found out that there is bleeding in both of my eyes due diabetes. That explains why I am having hard time seeing anything due to foggy, blur, etc. My left eye needed Laser surgery and then my right eye needed surgery to remove tiny bleeding. It gives me no choice but to do it very "ASAP" before it gets worse. I will have Laser surgery tomorrow afternoon so I am asking.....tons, tons, TONS of prayers to pull through all this. I am already freaking out right now but am very trying to think positive.

TONS TONS TONS of prayers, please.

Thanks everyone,

Chris

Chris will say a prayer for you buddy!!!!!!

Good luck Chris. My wife had really bad eye problems a year ago as a result of genetic problems and had to have emergency surgery in both eyes. It was a rough couple of months but in the end things have worked out as well as we could have ever prayed for. I wish you the best as it is a very scary time with a lot of emotions. Hang in there, eye care has come along way in the last 15 years.

Thanks everyone for your prayers.

My 1st round of laser surgery for left eye went well but it is pretty sore right now. Will go back and go for 2nd round on Wednesday afternoon. Damn, I hate those very bright light. It does hurt my eye and give me bad headache. Other than that, I am ok.....I am resting for the night. Please continue with prayers. Thanks!

I am just trying to relax and watch dvd from Freeze Frame Video about 2007 World Championship. It helps keep my mind off my surgery and keep me less nervous.

I will update with you after my 2nd laser surgery tomorrow afternoon.

lets all hope that your check up goes good so your all set, Chris. best of luck . Art

DriverofDonzi 12-01-2010 08:18 PM

Hello all,

Just an update:

I had an appointment today with my eye doctor for my left eye checkup. So far it looks good but have to wait because laser surgery requires 3 months to heal so it's too early to tell but it looks good so far. As for my right eye, I will have surgery on Tuesday Dec 7th in the early morning. What my doctor explained to me, it freaked me out big time but I have to do it rather than later to become worse....

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris!

Good luck on December 7th, I will be praying for a great outcome.

DriverofDonzi 12-07-2010 03:38 PM

Hey guys...

Let you know that I had a surgery this morning at 6am and lasted for almost an hour. I am ok but sore and have a patch on my right eye. I will see my doctor tomorrow morning to remove my patch.

Thanks everyone.

Chris

That's great; it went well for you! Not sure if you have kids or not ? I do and I can only imagine the stress of thinking something not going right; not being able to see after the surgery.

Your a brave man my friend! i hope all of your follow ups go just as well for you too! Keep us posted!

Cheers,
Joe Skrocki

Joe!

Thank you!!!!! Thanks for your supports!!! I do have a kid named Jennifer. I just glad I took a surgery right away rather than later. It was pretty scary but I made it through!!!

I cant wait to get this darn patch off because it starts to slide down! :) :)

Chris

Pat D 12-08-2010 10:11 AM

Chris
I have found that I've turned into a woos lately with any simple surgery or medical treatment........but, next time I have anything done I'm going to think of you. You are an inspiration and I thank you for it.
Happy holidays and stay warm.
Pat

Julie22 12-08-2010 10:30 AM

Chris...I'm glad your healing good so far.....our prayers are with you for a quick recovery and I hope all heals fine. Please keep us posted on your healing process....Happy Holidays to you and your family

DriverofDonzi 12-08-2010 03:09 PM

Thanks Pat and Julie!!!!!! You both rock! :)


Good news is...My patch has been removed this morning and I actually can see with my right eye but it is little bit out of focus. That is normal because it is still in process to heal.

I felt great when patch is off...I will go back next Wednesday for other checkup. WIll have one more surgery to remove contaracts in my right eye but that will occur in a year from now.

Right now I am trying not to touch my right eye because it itches! Ha ha ha ha...

Thanks everyone and you all have a great happy holidays! I'll be thinking of you! Cant wait to see you when season 2011 begins! :)

Chris

Jolley 12-09-2010 09:59 AM

That is Good News Chris. Hope everything works out for you ! Merry X-Mas :)

DriverofDonzi 12-15-2010 08:57 PM

Good news!!!!!

I had an appointment today for my right eye checkup following 1 week after had a surgery. Everything looks so good...No bleeding at all...the leak has been sealed very well but my right eye is still little bit swollen but that is normal.

I will be back again on Jan 12th for left eye checkup. And then in 2-3 months, I will have contaract surgery on my right eye.

My doctor just OK'd me to play racquetball!!!! Oh, how I miss playing with 55 mph racquetball ball!!!!! Here I come! :) :)

Chris

AB From Windsor 12-15-2010 09:39 PM
