I did it! Well actually my eye did it. But whoever did it, it worked! The fibrinohemorrhagic clot that has been blocking my vision since last October is gone! In fact, there aren’t even any signs of it! It is completely GONE! My follow up appointment began as it usually does, with my ophthalmologist asking […]
It has been awhile since we’ve shared an update on Asa’s eye. We are not schedule to see his ophthalmologist until September, but we do have good news to share based on personal observations. Asa’s eye appears to be doing very well! Mom accidentally misplaced our orange ball, and reluctantly she took our green one […]
Asa never ceases to amaze us and his eye doctor. His eye clot, the one that has been blocking his vision for months, the same one that combined with the hemorrhages had the ophthalmologist mentally preparing us for his inevitable blindness, is actually slowly starting to break up! According to the report, “Asa’s evaluation today […]
One year ago, on February 10, 2023, Asa had emergency surgery to remove his left eye due to Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis. The memories and emotions of that day are still fresh in our minds. However, today we are not going to dwell on the events of that day. Instead we are celebrating how Asa […]
For a while now we’ve been sharing Asa’s journey with Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis. Today we’re sharing my recent excellent annual eye exam. Spoiler alert: my ophthalmologist called me “perfect!” But of course I’m perfect, I’m Chuck Billy! I have to admit my appointment got off to an awkward start. Asa’s friend, Dan the vet […]
It is a well known fact for most musicians that not every song makes the final cut when releasing a new album. This also holds true for Asa. Well he hasn’t actually released an album…yet. But he does have song parodies that he wrote a while ago, that he hasn’t shared yet. Take for example […]
Want to know the best part about the recent snowstorm? I have my fetch buddy back! Although we use a brightly colored ball year round, Asa sometimes has difficulty tracking it to play. Don’t get me wrong. He still has enough vision to enjoy playing the game. However, there are times Asa gets frustrated, what […]
Yesterday Asa had the followup appointment with the ophthalmologist for his eye. The good news is Asa still has his vision, limited as it is, in 2024! We are very grateful that he does at least have peripheral vision, considering the uncertainty of Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis and the trajectory that he is on. The […]
Asa here. As you know in good times and bad, I often turn to music to express my feelings. But today, instead of writing a parody, I’m sharing with you the lyrics of a Bon Jovi song, “Story of my Life.” “This is the story of my lifeAnd I write it every day I know […]
Sadly the surgery scheduled for Asa today is no longer an option. During the reexamination blood was detected in the eye. Similar to the previous time he had hemorrhaging in that eye, we do not know the source of the bleeding. It could be a tick-borne disease, or an undetected underlying condition? The eye specialist […]
