Well, back again. I just read through all of my old posts. It seems crazy how much things have changed from when I first started posting. My eyes have been great since my last Vitrectomy. I recovered a lot faster from that one. They ended up having to put a gas bubble in which meant that I had to be face down or on my right side for 4 days afterwards. It seemed so insanely annoying at the time, but when I look back now, it was a tiny price to regain my sight. There have been no bleeds since then (knock on wood). I just have to wear reading glasses because of the lenses I had put in after my cataracts were removed. But that's no biggie either. Since May and coming back to work I have managed to lose 35 lbs which is awesome. I hope to lose 10-15 more and then I will be quite satisfied. My diabetes has been in great control since about October. It just seemed to change over night and has stayed that way ever since (again, knock on wood).
I was dating a new guy before Christmas, but he broke up with me on New Year's eve. He claimed that I was too sick with my diabetes. What he actually meant to say was that he was going to get back with his ex as I had caught them gettin' it on that night. Men. But still, how can someone be so damn insensitive. "Sick" with diabetes doesn't really happen anymore. Even with all the bullshit I went through with my eyes I never once considered myself 'sick' with diabetes. People are so stupid.
