Hi shedman, good to hear from you but sorry things haven't been as successful as we'd hoped.
I had 6 months of success and went for a check up and to be signed off in December. The surgeon was happy and just did a probe to make sure all was clear and sent me on my way. With strict instructions to some back if I ever had any watering as it would only ever npbe temporary and he could clear it agan.
To be honest, after that probe I started to have occasional watering again. Especialy over New Year when I was our and about at the coast in cold weather. Rather than rush back I put it off and have not experienced is as bad as that since. I may well have had a mild cold and a severe case of the sniffs! I haven't walked in the cold wind or spend much time ouside these past few weeks and am happy that I can work, read, cook and generally function indoors OK with no watering I might live with what I have now.
Luckily my second eye is 75% OK too after having stents again for a few months and unless things change again for the worse, i will not have a DCR on that one.
What a decision you have about the other eye, unless the pump is working OK it doesn't seem worth having it does it.
