Hi Linda! I just posted the following in my original thread. (But thanks for asking!!)

Good news!!! The doctor found no retinal damage. She said what happened can occur from stress and crying, which certainly describes the past week. The doctor said to call immediately, day or night, if I see a grey or black curtain coming down or across my eye.

I spoke to one of Terry's daughters right after I left the doctor's office, and she said her sister had to go to the eye doctor, too. She was diagnosed with a corneal ulcerâÂ"and her doctor said it was from stress and crying. I guess we know thtat stress can be wicked.

I'm so glad to be able to drive tomorrow.

Thanks, all!

Susan

I'm so glad it wasn't a tear. Thank you for letting us know.

Lnda

I'm glad it wasn't serious. I'm also sorry you have had such a rough week. Hope you have better days ahead.

Linda

I'm glad it wasn't serious too!!

((((Susan))))

Me too. Hope it clears up real soon.
Leslie

What about the shortness of breath? If you reported on that, I missed it.

Glad to hear the eye is ok. Sorry for all the stress; I remember you've suffered a loss.

Susan

You've certainly had reason to be under a lot of stress lately, and I'm sorry for that... But I'm so glad to hear that you don't have retinal damage!!

My thoughts and prayers will be with you and with Terry's family tomorrow.

My eye is still flashing and floating big time, so I'll . . . um . . . keep an eye on it. :-)

Susan, re the shortness of breath (boy, I must sound like I'm falling apart), I still have it. I'm planning to go back to the doctor to explore other possibilities. I suppose it could be entirely stress related, but that doesn't sound right to me for some reason. Anyway, I'm happy that all the test results--EKG, chest x-ray, pulmonary function test, nuclear stress test, and echocardiogram) were normal.

Thanks for asking!

OK I have to be quick - I only have 3 minutes left on this public computer.

I just checked in to see how you were doing - so this is good news. Now all you have to do is drive 2 1/2 hours with a teenager to keep you company. Have a safe journey.

Glad to hear no damage! Stress can really make us old before our time. So not fair! Please have a safe drive, we shall all be thinking about you.

Trish

Susan, I'm asking because I'm having the same symptoms, slight shortness of breath. I've seen two doctors who say I'm fine, but it still worries me a little. So I've been waiting to see what you found out.

Best wishes, Susan

Great news Susan. I was sure worried about you.

I made it to the funeral and back. It was as good an experience as it could be, with Terry's family grateful to see me, and me grateful to be there.

My resemblance to Terry must have gotten very strong as we got older. I caught a number of people staring at me today, and smiling. One old lady touched my arm as I left and said, "ItÂs like looking at Terry." She was six inches shorter than I, but still people felt that way. So it must be a striking resemblance. Funny, I used to look just like my father, but TerryÂs my cousin on my motherÂs side.

I'm exhausted. It was a scenic drive, but not an easy one. Lots of tricky twists and turns, and I had to pay close attention to the directions, which weren't always that clear. I wish I'd brought my son's GPS. But we got there in plenty of time, which was good.

My vision in my right eye is a sea of tiny black and grey spots (I told Lizzie my food--and everything else--looked dirty) and large black thready shapes that the doctor said were the shadows of broken-off blood vessels. I have the feeling my eye could use a little rest. I know I could! I want to post a couple of other things, and then I'm taking to my bed.

Thanks, everyone.

Susan
