Bit of a update on me

Postby space_cadet » Wed 27 Mar 2013 7:52 pm

Sorry I have barely been around recently, being a single mum of a 8 week old cutie is hard but rewarding work.

KC wise nothing much has changed, my left eye is vile n misbehaving constantly, but I just ignore it, my right the transplant appears to have been unaffected by pregnancy n birth which I am thankful for, n the vision if anything does appear a lil clearer n sharper than it was prior to pregnancy.

I was so engrossed in watching my lil cutie smile I totally lost track of dates n didn't realise that it has been yet another anniversary of my transplant.

Worked out I last saw a eye doc in January of last year which for me over the last 15 years is a record. The specialist knew I was pregnant as the ante natel consultant had concerns about my transplant n contacted him but he never saw me himself, yes I know I should contact him myself but every time I go near the eye department I end up with major infection and or rejection issues so really don't want to go near teh place especially with such a young baby with such a developing immune system.

I have attached a photo of the lil space cadet for those of you who aren't on my facebook/ twitter n haven't seen how cute she is

She is absolutely beautiful!

Well done of the long stay-away from hospital clinics.

Every good wish, and good to hear from you again.
