Last Wednesday I got these awful floaters in my right eye...Floaters that looked like dragon flies. Then the floaters turned to black loops and swirls.
Thursday early, I called the eye doctor and was told to come in ASAP. My eye was bleeding very slowly and pooling...it's called Vitreous something?? Anyhow, he sent me right on to another doctor in Raleigh. I'm going to be fine, hopefully, but right now the vision in my right eye is blurred. It's like looking through a very dirty window and the floaters now look like a wad of curls hanging over my right eye.
The doctor in Raleigh wants to watch this very closely, in fact, I was back in his office on Friday, and have another appointment this coming Friday.
The teeny tiny garden is looking wild and overgrown these days...

Love,

Hope your eye is better soon. I am not feeling good either. You say it is age related?? LOL Not much getting done outdoors for me but you still have some pretty flowers and peppers to enjoy. Have a good week. Nancy
ReplyDeleteWow I hope that your eyes will be okay!! Love you bunches
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Your poor eyes are not doing so good. I'm glad you went to the doctor so quickly and that he's keeping an eye(!)on the situation.
ReplyDeleteThe tiny garden is looking very wild and lovely. Anything that's still blooming in September is to be cherished.
Hope that gets cleared up soon! I had a problem with the eye thing, but didn't see anyone for it. Now you make me think I should have!
ReplyDeleteFather God, I thank you that you love Henny Penny, that you care about her vision. I ask that you bring full and complete healing to her eye by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ. I thank you that he took stripes on his back for her healing. By his stripes she is healed. I praise you that this condition will improve daily. I trust you and thank you. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

Feel better soon, Henny. I don't like to hear that you are having health issues. I can imagine this has given you grief just trying to do your daily work around Henny Penny Lane. Hope it clears up quickly. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Deb
ReplyDeleteI WISH YOU A SPEEDY RECOVERY WITH THE EYE PROBLEMS.
ReplyDeleteMama, I am so glad your eye is getter better, WITHOUT surgery!! I love you. Your garden is pretty! How did the growing season go by so quickly. Weren't we just waiting for spring? Here we go again. Love you! Your girl
ReplyDeleteI do love the wild untamed look of a fall garden. My garden is looking rather raggedy too! I hope your eyes clear up right away so you can get back to enjoying life at Henny Penny Lane.
ReplyDeletePosterior Vitreous Detachment. I have had the same thing happen to me. I was lucky to not have any bleeding though. I am glad they are keeping a close eye on you. You will be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI think your garden looks gorgeous and you are blessed with a great harvest. Enjoy and God bless!
Please take care of yourself Henny! I once had a similar problem with my eyes seeing black floaters and the doctor said it was blood also. You don't want to mess around with your vision! I hope it gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks so pretty with all the flowers and that bowl of veggies looks delicious!
Thank you Bonnie. I had no idea this could be something serious, but the doctors sure thought so. Scary, isn't it?
DeleteI am so sorry to hear about your eye and will be putting you in my prayers. Take special care and do everything the doctors says. God Bless you.

I'm glad you wasted no time in calling the eye doctor and that he saw you quickly. It seems that we have to wait so long for doctor appointments any more. I hope your vision continues to improve and there are no complications in your healing. You're in my prayers. I love the colors in your garden; it's still beautiful.
ReplyDeletePeg, thank you so much. Yes, I was surprised that both doctors saw me the same day I called. The first doctor said if I saw new floaters, or flashes of light to call him immediately. Hope you had a good Labor Day.
DeletePlease keep us updated on your eye problem. We are concerned about you, and we also can use this as a cautionary tale in case we ever experience something similar. It's hard to know sometimes what is serious and what is just a passing oddity.
ReplyDeleteLate summer gardens have a sort of tumble down appearance that does have its own peculiar charm.
What a fright you must have had with your eye, hope your recovering continues. You will certainly be in my prayers. Beautiful garden, so nice that you are rewarded with a crop that you can pickle for the Winter months.
ReplyDeletethat's a lot of peppers
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself. You have a birthday coming real soon. Just sit in your rocking chair and pet the kitties.
ReplyDeleteThank you Blanche! :)
DeleteOh, take care, Henny. Wear your sunglasses and your sunhat.
ReplyDeleteThe peppers are gorgeous!
Ooh Henny, I'm sorry to read you are having problems with your eye, I hope the doctor is able to help heal it, and the floaters go away. I've had my share of eye problems, even now, I have permanent floaters in my left eye, they are so annoying. Please be careful going outside without protection of the sun. Your flowers are still looking beautiful, I simply love your Zinnia's :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bowl of peppers, and lots of them !
Hugs,

Oh my Dear! Any different thing, with eyes, get to a doc, immediately.
ReplyDeleteMy husband has had everything possible, go wrong with his eyes, so we are sort of 'experts,' here. -sigh- It sounds to him, like a detached retina. Which needs re-attachment. Did they mention this...???????
Please keep us updated.
And please take it easy, till this is rectified.

How frightening. I have had two detached retinas so I know how scary it is to have something go wrong with the your eyes. I hope all will resolve soon and you will be seeing clearly again. Your garden is still doing well. Mine up and keeled over in all the heat!
ReplyDeleteOh so sorry to hear about your eye. Will be praying that your sight returns to normal.
ReplyDeleteWeird things happening with your vision are really terrifying. It's good that you called the eye Dr. right away and was able to get in quickly to see him and the other Dr as well. I had a partially detached retina several years ago (fixed the same day) and it is a scary thing to have happen. Let us know as soon as you find out how things are going and what the prognosis is.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and hoping for the best.
Thank you Vic. I will do that.
DeleteWell you've got a heckofalotta vegetables compared to me! Mine were a Big fat fail this year. I think your little garden is wonderfully wild and crazy, just the way we like them to be.
ReplyDeleteSurely hope your eye is 100% better soon! Your lovely gardens and homestead are always a pleasure to see.🌻🌻
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I appreciate that!
DeleteHi Henny, The same thing happened to my eye about 3 or 4 years ago. At the time I was staying in a hotel room with my husband and started to see what looked like lightning streaks in my eye. That's the way it started for me, then by the next morning, it was like looking thru a dirty window thru my right eye. So we visited a good eye clinic while we were on the road, and had another follow up when we got back home, but everything went fine and today I can see clearly again with no problems. At the time I think they were concerned about the retina detaching...but thankfully that didn't happen. So I will pray that all goes well for you Henny. Love the pics of your veggies...everything looks great! Take care!
ReplyDeleteHey Diane. That sounds just like what happened to me. The doctor told me if I see flashes of light to call him immediately. I'm glad your eye got back to normal and was not a detached retina. Hopefully, my eye will be normal again too. It is a terrible feeling. Thank you Diane.
DeleteOh, Henny, I pray that your eye clears up with no more problems.
ReplyDeleteHenny, I hope your eye is better today. So scary for you.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers and veggies look fantastic!
Take care.
Robin
Praying for healing so you can see your beautiful yard, clearly!
ReplyDeleteGrace & Peace,
Pam
Sorry to hear about the problem with your eye. Be praying for you. I love zinnias, so easy to plant and always give colourful results. Looks beautiful!

So sorry to hear about your eye! It is so scary to lose your eyesight, and I hope and pray with you that it all returns to well without any issues! I always enjoy seeing pictures of other people's gardens. The pickled peppers sound wonderful :) Blessings to you, always enjoy my visit with you!
ReplyDeleteJust checking back to see how your doctor appointment went.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers.
Connie :)
How are you feeling, Henny? I hope you are better by now.
ReplyDeleteOh my Henny, I hope your vision is slowly getting better, my Doctor told me the same thing as I have lots of floaters, call if I see lights. So far so good. I wish the same for you! :)
