Great news RJ ... so glad things are going well!

mszee · 20 Sep 2009, 22:03

Very good news...I am very happy...sorry so late...my broken back is driving me nuts!

**RadioMaster** · 21 Sep 2009, 11:03

went to the second weekly check up this morning.
The doctor says if he'd have to mark my status, he'd give it an A+. Apparently I went to one of the best surgeons around, as the state of my recovery today would usually take 3 to 4 months.
It's still a long way to go though. The eye is still very sore and I have to be very careful for the next 1-2 months.

My sight is improving daily. And since yesterday I'm able to spend more than just a few minutes in front of a computer or tv without being in pain or tears.

Fantastic news RJ, I'm really pleased for you x

SamCat · 21 Sep 2009, 13:42

Brilliant news hon i hope you carry on improving at this rate!!

vrg · 21 Sep 2009, 22:19

I'm so glad to hear the great news. It does sound like you got the best surgeon. Take care, and carry on; the time will fly along - look how fast your second checkup came along.

as I couldnt do a lot anyway, I just went to my hometown for a week. This morning I've been to another check up, and apparently everything looks great. Recovery is on a very good way 3 1/2 weeks after the op.
Also did the first proper vision test this morning. As of today I see about 10%, which is twice as much as before, with the option of an increase to about 20% within the next six months. Unfortunately though, they cant perscribe me proper glasses until everything healed up completely and the eyesight has stabilized (about 6 months), so until then reading will be a bit tricky.
I bought some cheap reading glasses for a few € though, theyre good enough to sit at the computer for a longer period of time. They should help me until I get the proper ones.

Next check up is in 4 months, so they're not so worried anymore.

Really pleased for you RJ,at last things are starting to go well for you,

It's been about 6 weeks since the OP now and it looks like everything went well.
Went back to Bremen for the final check up on thursday, and, except for a minor infection the recovery was a complete success.
I'm off most of the subscribed medication and basically dont have to be too careful with reading and working anymore.

Sight has inproved drastically, the two major changes are (1) that I can walk through the streets again, without being afraid of crossing red lights or being run over by a car I dont notice until the last second and (2) that I can finally read books again.

Looks like the health troubles and constant up and down that started nearly exactly a year ago are finally over and done with.

Looking forward to the future and what's to come...

Being pushed under oncoming traffic is still a danger that RJ has to face every day.

The price he pays for being him

Good news though mate
