Hi

Just had my first visit to the hospital to review my first stage of retinopathy, and instead of seeing one doc, I saw 3 because I am special apparantly. The main doc called in a consultant who suggested a student should see me too.

** Disclaimer ** I was a bit blown away by the day and the nerves and the ups and downs to get all the info stored in my head.**

I have cotton wool spots that show are the second stage of a more serious problem, but the first stage hasn't happened... they have never seen this before.

Lucky me gets to have a photo shoot in 3 weeks to see what is going on. I wonder if I will be spotted by an modelling agency who specialise in retinas?

I am a bit nervous as they mentioned lasers but what can I do about it? Worrying won't help, so I am doing my best to shut it out and concentrate on my general health an BGs

Just thought I'd get it off my chest and it may make it better.

Cheers
Andy
