EYE issue

I first had problems with the retinas on my eyes when I was working in Japan. At that time I thought it was caused by overworking in front of the computer day after day. My retina had a hole so the ophthalmologist gave me laser treatment. It was a very quick one and I could go back to work the next day. Because it was very easily fixed I wasn't worried too much then.

The second incident happened just after having Oliver in Brunei. I felt uncomfortable in my eyes so I went to see a specialist then he straight away sent me to the national hospital where I had full anaesthetic operation on both eyes and overnight in the hospital. My condition was "detached retina".

The Brunei ophthalmologist told me that it happens to women 30-40 years old who has strong short sightedness. I thought this operation would fix my retina problems having the big operation but somehow it came back...

A week ago I felt something was not right with my left eye again. Matthew called most of the places in Singapore and found an ophthalmologist who could see me straight away. Luckily I got to be seen by a fantastic ophthalmologist and he gave me a thorough examination.

As a result he found another tear on my retina and gave me laser treatment on the same day.
He had very good explanation on why I am getting these problems. Unfortunately it is not something I can prevent, but he told me to avoid bungee jumping (lucky I haven't done it in NZ yet!) and boxing.

As much as I would love to catch up on my blog, having the both boys birthdays and visitors etc, I now must spend the least time possible in front of my computer. I need to look into voice recognition software or I must not look at the computer screen at all while I am typing.

Hopefully it will get better soon and I can be up to date on the posts before our busy summer travel time comes!

Dentist visit

The boys had their teeth checked at the dentist this afternoon. Oliver was so brave and didn't cry at all! Great improvement since last time (I think it was April this year).

Luca on the other hand fought every second he was being examined - hence no photos, I had to help them hold him down...

The good news is they both have beautiful healthy teeth :) :) :) I am very happy!
