5 years ago I was in a hospital gown waiting to chat to the anesthetist for my inital cornea transplant, where and what has occured over the last 5 years?
*a regraft
* countless episodes of rejection
* countless reactions to drops
* being registered as legally blind due to my keratoconus
* getting knocked back from guide dog training because I was pregnant
*plenty of giggles thanks to good friends
*graduating university
* moving house
*getting divorced
*becoming a mummy

Re: 5 years ago
Life is full of ups and downs and keratoconus obviously adds quite a bit to the downs! I'm glad you can still list some of the ups though... do you expect anything to be different another 5 years down the line?

Re: 5 years ago
5 years from now id be happy KC wise to avoid rejection n infections n preserve the now regained limited sight the graft has given without the aid of lenses, it is only enough to read the top line on the chart unaided but is better than where I was ..
