When I went back this morning, my eyes were a lot better. Last night I was told that the pressure in eyes is normally 10-20 (of whatever, not sure). Last night my eyes were 24 and 28, which was a little concerning. Glaucoma, with permanent damage to the nerves in the eye is around 60. Today my eyes were in the 'acceptable' range.
Full disclosure - I had a little panicky moment when they were checking, but it went from 'this may be a cause for concern' to 'this is not urgent and we can just monitor' as there is something that could cause problems - I can't remember the name of it but there's an opening in the eye that is a little narrow in my case. So some time in the next two weeks I will trundle along and get treatment where they put a hole in my iris to allow them to get a good pic of the back of the eye.
I felt a little frazzled afterwards so I went to look at the Beckett Street Cemetery afterwards. I only had a little look because my back hurt, there were a lot of leaves and the paths weren't clear. It was opened in 1845 and there were a lot of interesting gravestones. However there had been storm damage and I saw a lot of graves looking jumbled and displaced with a large tree trunk on top of them.
I took a few pics.
I shall have to go again when it's easy to walk around.
Hugs and good health to all.
Glad to hear that your eye pressure is within acceptable range and they will monitor it with a follow up visit. The cemetery looks like an interesting place. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope to be able to spend some more time with it when the weather is better. It's one of the earliest non-church graveyards and I suspect that there are a lot of sad stories as what is now the site of the hospital had a workhouse on there. I'll share what I find.
