Jenna, what WONDERFUL news. I am so glad. I think I told you I had these funny things happen, like a shade being drawn down my eye. And I had to go to Opthalmologist who said at risk for stroke, then for carotid studies and then for brain MRI. So scared. 9 years ago. All tests were fine, and it never happened again. Was so very weird. I am so relieved to hear this is over for you and your Mom.

Hi Alva, I'm so sorry this happened to you and I know how scary this is. The ER doctors led me to believe that she had clogged arteries when she didn't but they didn't have all the test results back. I wish they didn't scare me the way they did.

I'm so relieved!

Another update: My Mom saw the eye doctor and she has AMD (Advanced Macular Degeneration) in her left eye. The doctor said there was nothing he could do for that. She has it slightly in her right eye as well but it's not advanced yet.

The good news is the doctor didn't see any blood behind my Mom's eye.

Of course my Mom is upset and she's worried about going blind.

Just wanted to update everyone.

Thanks again for your support,
Jenna

Thank you for this update, Jenna. So many never come back to tell us. Is your Mom completely blind in that eye at this point? Or is she "legally blind" that is able to see light, shadow, some objects? I don't blame her for being scared. It has always been one of my worst fears. Is she a reader? Tell her Kindles are great and you can blow that print up huge. And it has a light. I love mine and waited years before admitting I need to have it. I have had virtually one well functioning eye for some time, after a vitreous separation. I do quite well overall with it. Tell her she cannot afford to worry about the future, just take good care of her eyes as she is able, keep up on the progress of everything. I am sure she is upset and we all would be. So sorry.

Jenna; I'm sorry that it's AMD (but better than a stroke, any day!). My late FIL had AMD and his vision varied day by day and at times, minute to minute. I have no idea why!

Oh my that sounds very much like what happened to my mom, she already knew she had early AMD but a sudden bleed in one eye robbed her of most of the sight in that eye.
