Hi Cats.
Here's the latest update as of 5-20-08. If you have read this on my LJ skip to the second paragraph as it concerns the comic. Anyway, for the rest, here goes. The doctor ruled out the bone deformity today w/ a CT scan, so that is not putting pressure on the optic nerve and we are now down to two options according to the doc. It could be a medication that I’m taking, (cyclosporine to be exact), that is causing the pressure in the spinal fluid, so to determine that I have to have a spinal tap. Unfortunately, the doctor told me the wrong medicine last time, a drug which could have been replaced. The drug she suspects cannot be replaced, but it can be treated. Anyway, the spinal tap is next Wednesday. I have had one before years ago, so I know it’s not a thrill ride. The other option they are looking at is an optic nerve stroke. There is no way to really determine if that is it, just rule everything else out and there is no treatment. If it’s the medication then there are meds to alleviate the pressure for that. Anyway, that’s where it all stands.
Currently my eye problem is more of an annoyance than a disability, so until then I will continue to draw when I can. As for the comic I am putting it on indefinite hiatus until I know more about the situation. Hopefully w/ this time off I can create a backlog, but at this time I can make no promises.
Thanks again for everyone who has written and everything. I sincerely appreciate it.
