Powering down to pay for my eyes surgery - update. Double trouble, it's even worse then I thought!:(

in help •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hi guys!

Today I'm able to write the post only in the evening, and I'm not able to draw at all. So, today I had my survey to prepare for eyes surgery and damn.... It was awful.

First of all - I spent in the hospital 4 hours today. 4 hours of instant delving in my eyes, different tests and researches. In the end I was pretty sure I'll go mad. But I survived, and now I want to share my experience how it was.

I went through all procedures needed to find out in what state my eyes are. They started with measurement of eyes inner pressure (really unpleasant procedure, during it they put short fast air flows to your eyes, so you shudder all the time it happens), and the special equipment measures your inner eye pressure. Tricky that it grows really fast if you feel nervous, and I really was.

So they had to put pain reliever drops to my eyes, and do the procedure again.

Then followed the standard procedure of measuring visual acuity. Also with help of the other machine you got your visual acuity tested, and then follows the test on astigmatism. 

Then I got my dilatation of the pupils of the eye - with help of special drops. I had such procedure as a kid, but already remembered not how creepy one feels after it. I felt sick with glasses or without them, and had only one focal point I could normally see. And my eye pupils really looked like this:

Source

My husband even got a bit scared of me. I looked both: like a demon from Supernatural  and like this cat. 

Then all the other testes began, thee that should be done with a wide eye pupil. I can't list them all, cause to that moment I already felt really bad and dreamed only  about end of all this. The most unpleasant procedure was when doctor looked at my ocular fundus. It's made with the help of special lens that is fixed on your eye, and that super light light... Also the thickness of my eye cornea was measured, and it's done with the sensor that touches your eye directly.

Then, after all these tests I had a meeting with the doctor. Here are my colorful results, by the way:

And that's what the doctor said...

Guys, I'm really in tears at the moment, cause instead of one operation I'll have to have two of them! And the first one is not even my choice. It appeared that my retina has a dystrophy around the perimeter, and I have to fix that first if I don't want to loose it and have even more troubles. So what do I have in the final result... I have to do two operations. And it's twice more expensive, then I thought. Instead of 800$ I'll have to go to 1500$ or even more. 

The first one I will probably have on Wednesday, the one to fix my retina. What I will do next? No idea... Continue creating art and hope that I'll manage with that amount of money. Do I have drawing inspiration after all these news? Of course not... May be I just need to take this evening to calm down, and then start fighting again.

 Again, I don't ask for anything in this post, but will be really thankful if you'll support my dream with a vote and may be a resteem, to make it a little closer.

Thank you my dear friend!

Well that sounds like a whole pile of fun and games (that's firmly wrpped in sarcasm tags for the people who take me literally). Understandable that you're stressed out! But probably better that those get done and get those eyes fixed up right? :) Everything will be fine, hope you recover quickly :)

Yes, but now it will take time and more investments. Now I need to make the first one, and then the second one only after two weeks

Nice post :)

Creepy spam

It sounds like a stressful day for you, I hope it all goes well for you and the operations go well.

Really stressful:( Thank you for your support, I really hope I'll manage with everything

Upvoted and resteemed. Hope you all the best!

Thank you so much my dear!:)

Great thank's for this information ^_^ I ve followed you thanks !

And didn't read anything... Spamming is a bad habit.

I'm hoping that both surgeries go well and you regain most if not all of your sight back. Upvoted + Resteemed.

Thank you so much for your support!

Hope everything goes well :( Any medical procedure with the eyes can be very scary, but I know you can be strong! I hope you are able to achieve your goal to help pay for this.

Thank you! Yes, it's really scary. I need my eyes for work:(

Even at this difficult time in sure eventually you'll get out of it and create an beautiful art piece

Today - unlikely, I still have a wide eye pupil:( But hopefully I'll do it tomorrow:)

I know exactly how your feeling I went through the same when my Retina detached, the tests are horrible, I got knocked out for the operation. I had those awful drops too with big pupils, very strange experience. Upvoting 100& and I will resteem for you hun, lets hope we can get the steemers behind you.

Thank you so much my dear Karen! At the moment I really am a bit shocked, I thought everything is OK and I will just make my correction.

You will be, I was in a right state when they said my retina had come off, it was torn in 8 places, I should have been blind in one eye but the DR fixed it now I have no problems now :)

You really encouraged me:) I believe I'll be OK!:)

I know you will, if i can go through what I went through you will fly through it and come out smiling. :)

Надеюсь мой репост поможет хотя бы немного привлечь внимание сообщества и получить вам необходимую сумму для лечения! Желаю вам удачи и отличного зрения!

Спасибо огромное!

I hope that you will be fine...for more artistic work

Hope so too

I wish you a speedy recovery from the 2 operations. Have faith in your doctors, they have trained all their lives for this, you are in good hands i'm sure

Thank you so much for your support!

It has been interesting to watch your journey looking into having your eye sight restored. At one point I looked into this procedure and decided against it.

Your posts have renewed my interest, and I think I will be making an appointment with a local eye dr. as well.

Prepare to hell during the researches:( But as I saw today it's really needed at least not to miss some troubles that come with no signs:(

Hi at @inber. Your story is touching. I wish my standing on Steemit gave me more upvote power to help people like you. But I am new on Steemit https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@nawi/woooh-i-ve-just-made-it-into-steemit and will help you with what little I can. I know, however, that there many angels on Steemit out there who will help too. This is one great thing I find on this platform that I find nowhere else! I'm praying for you. God bless!

Upvoted and now following you.

Thank you so much for your support!

Aww so sorry that you will need these two tests for your eyes :(
I hope they go well and you are feeling much better soon!

If there were tests:( But there are two operations

Sorry I meant operations but I didn't sleep so well and I am still half asleep Pours a bucket of water over himself

Ha-ha, I see:)

I hope that you are able to continue with your passion for artwork and life unhindered by eye trouble and I sincerely hope Steemit can take you that step closer as soon as humanly possible.

Thank you so much for your support!

Thank you for encouragement!

No, I fear them

I am fear too, hi @inber if you not bsy and have more time please come to my blog ..you can click here and thank you for you support

I am so sorry to hear this news @inber. I recently had all of these eye tests myself so I know how you feel about the tests. I was given the numbing drops and the dilation drops twice in one day. I had the color tests done too (the Macula OS) and they were the worse ones. I pray that your surgeries will be successful so please keep us updated. You will get through this and I know you will be glad to get it over with. You are in my thoughts and prayers @inber. Up, Resteem and donating. I know you don't want donations but hopefully others will do the same. A little bit from a lot of people adds up.

Thank you so much for your support! Yes, I wish to work to earn this for myself, not a donated (sorry for my English), I'm just so confused that it appeared worse then I thought. Before this day I still had a choice - to be or not to be, now I know that at least the first operation I MUST do if I want my eyes:(

to be or not to be - this is the question. Good luck!

Thank you!:)

That is the least I can do and wish I could do more. It is a scary thing but I just know somehow, that everything will be fine and your eyes will be saved. I don't know how to explain it. I know that words are so easy to say but you are the one going through this and it is a hard thing to process. You are in my thoughts and prayers @inber!

I believe in your words and I also think everything will go fine! Thank you so much!

@inber upvoted and TO HELp you i will resteem your post,i don't have enough sbd to give you..but my prayers will heal you...IN THE NAME OF Yeshua THE MESSIAH AND ALL HIS AUTHORITY AND DOMINION AND POWER .BE HEALED....

Hey Inber, I am truly sorry to hear about the added problem and surgery for your eyes. You are a great artist and I understand your anxiety over anything related to vision and the risks around it.

I used BeyondBit tokens to upvote your post to give it a $24 boost from @fuzzyvest along with my normal vote and sent you some STEEM to help :-)

I wish you all the best and a quick recovery.

I don't have enough words to thank you! Thank you SO much!

You're so welcome. I can't wait until you are recovered and back doing what you love!

I can draw at the moment, I still can. But have to perform some actions to save this ability:)

Congratulations @inber!

Really??? You're spamming on this?!?

Pls whats your visual acuity after the test?

If I translated everything right (medical terms are a bit hard for me in english) it's -3.5 both eyes.

I hope you will heal

Thank you!

So sorry you are having to go through this. I have a phobia about having my eyes even touched. I cannot imagine what you are going through. Prayers.

I can touch my eyes easily, but it doesn't make me more brave at the moment, unfortunately:( Thank you for your support!

Hope you get better soon my friend follow you Up&Resteem

Thank you!

My pleasure friend

Wish you all the best

Thank you

I feel your pain. I have to have corneal transplants in both my eyes. My consultation appointment is in November and hopefully, I can have it done by December. Prayers and speedy healing to you!

Thank you so much for your support! I hope yours will go well too!:)

stay well

;)

hopefully recover friends

We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
You are strong and everything will go well
Wish you all the best .

Thank you for your support!

This is great what you sharing. Thank you @inber

Be well soon!

Thank you!:)

This is a bad news my god the most dangers place in body is the eyes if it ill all life be hard and diffuclt we know that so dont be worry yo will be fine and will be nice with the best eyes i wish that from my heart 😻

Thank you so much for your kind words, they really mean a lot to me!

Be happy ❤

Good luck with your surgery, you can do this!

Thank you for your support!:)

I hope your surgeries go well. Man, medical expenses really take toll on an average person's budget. Between, how about securing a loan from the steemit community. I see that you surely don't want donations, but maybe you can ask for a community loan from steemians. Your are here from December, maybe your account can act as a collateral.

I hope I understood everything right, English is my second:)
No, I really hope I'll manage with this with powering down and posting my art, plus I work as an artist outside steemit. I have some more time before surgery and I just need to put as much effort as I can to deal with it. Help of the community I already received in votes is more then I could expect in my bravest dreams, and I really don't want to ask for more. I already had a suggestion that I'm a scammer in comments, I don't want that. In fact I even published the shots of my diagnostics not in order to show "oh poor girl am I", but because I was surprised how far such diagnostics went since I was a kid.

It's great if you can manage it on your own. I just meant that in case you need any extra help, then you can always ask for a loan from the steemit community. Cheers!

I really don't want to do it (only if I'll have no other choice). I hope I'll manage.My first operation is tomorrow:)

Nice post @inber

My eyes are also have some problem now, might need a surgery too, anyway i hope you can get better soon,god bless ;)

Thank you for your support! I hope you'll be well too!

this sound awful, keep it up and I truly hope this amazing community is going to make everything to help you. I wish I could pivote you with more $$ but I'm kinda new in here,
Anyway, I'm already following you, and I will keep an eye on your posts to try to help. best of the luck, and hope you can be 100% well, soon.

Thank you so much for your support!:)

I hope that everything will be ok in Gods will...

good luck with all procedures and funding I've resteemed in hopes that others will upvote an artist needs to see to create at their best :)

Thank you so much!:)

every little bit helps :) I just wish it was a bit more :D

<3

We pray for you from Indonesian Steemit Community. Keep spirit my friend.

Thank you so much my dear friends:)!

I wanna help you, but you see I am a newbie, and my SBD is not much at all. I just pray for your health and be sure that God will be with you my friend. 😭😭😭

Thank you for your support!

I can understand how frustrating this must be, especially when money makes it worse. I hope you can get them done soon and have your eyes feeling better! Sometimes taking some time to yourself to breathe is the best thing you can do.

I did the first one today:) Thank you for your support!:)

No problem :) I hope you recover quickly!

Thank you!:)

I hope u get better soon dear :(

Thank you, I hope so:(

Keeping you in my heart and prayer for quick healing! Sending you all my love!

Thank you my dear friend, I really appreciate your support!

Hope it all pans out!
