I have grandkids too.Two were born after my diagnosis so they will never know that I used to have 2 eyes that looked the same.Older ones never reacted to the change. Their acceptance puzzled but pleased me at the same time. It meant a lot to me.
On a lighter note I mind the 8 month old once a week while my daughter plays netball and sometimes her 2 year old as well. The 2 year old never wants to go home .She loves going to Grandma's and loves going in Grandma's car . She can go into the creche at netball and did for a few weeks because she wanted to play with the kids. She told me she likes "kids and boys too".

Hi Sandy,
I agree with oldhippy, it will get easier and you do get to know what to expect. Wishing your journey with treatment to be easier on you
Take care

Hi Sandy,
Take one day at a time.. and feel what you feel.. positive, sad, courageous, annoyed .. whatever is right for you.
I have been there and done just that, felt a wide range of emotions along the way.
Seek help if you need it, whether it be from with family, through this site, support groups, advice from GP. You don't have to do it alone.
Been 5yrs since diagnosis for me and life is back on track.
Take care and best wishes.

I know what the look is like. But I also know what it was like on the inside. My own first reaction was a lot more horrific than anyone else's. I can forgive everyone the first look on that basis. I have moved on and I can help others move on with it too if they want to come with me. If they stay with the look then there's nothing I can do and I won't spend time on them.
If I ran a business, that would of course present me with a problem of how to maintain a public presence in a small town. I understand that.
