OK. Update on the eyes.
I cracked my head hard a few weeks ago. Saw stars. A day or so later I had a shower of floaters that lasted a couple of days. Now I have enough 'junk' in my left eye from the broken blood vessel as to be absolutely annoying. Not to mention rather serious.
The doc said it is no longer bleeding but there is evidence of past bleeding in both eyes. No hypertension but diabetes is an issue. I bruise easily and often my nose bleeds when I blow it. None of this is good. Doc said not much they can do except wait and see what happens. I have both a nutritionist and herbalist that have been helping me keep my blood sugar in check. That seems to be under control.
I do watch my diet carefully and will be even more diligent with an intentional low glycemic foods journal. My nutritionist says absolutely no caffeine or canola oil. Both are bad for blood vessels. My herbalist has me on eye and blood vessel nutrients. My doc wants me to see a retina specialist. That will happen soon. And Jim Bradley is helping sort all this out.
I am taking this very seriously. I know I have been persistent is asking for support for my brother. And that worked out very well. I am going to be very selfish here and ask for your support again. Thanks folks. You are the greatest!
