Yes I'm from The Netherlands. My insurance covered both my eyes it was like 12.000,- Euro in total.
I had one advance because I work for an insurrance company so a deal was easly made ;-)
If you have any questions about insurrance please e-mail me on thesims2k@hotmail.com but for normal questions please use this board so you can all share it.
Pedro, I hope you are doing well, and take so much rest as needed (if you're able to). I think that was made my eyes what they are today.
Lets face it people....you're all here to find the solution to floaters. When I was sure no remedy would come I had to take a step which was the most scary one in my life.
I always said that I would NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER do an eye surgery........but than the floaters came.
I thought....f$%$ that sh$% there must be something that can be done..... and when I had talked to Dr Stalmans.... I thought I could bare the floaters until surgery.
But I could not... I hated them with all my heart and soul. If they told me I lost my job and house and girlfriend...I would say.....well ok ...but you have to take the floaters too.
I was depressed which I never experienced before. I even cried. Yes I did... I thought I was going blind... But I never quit.... it's just something in me .... just don't quit hoping
But when you hope....you have to use yourself to make it come through. Well with all that said..... Dr Stalmans could tell me there is 1% change it will succeed and I would
still take that change cause hope is always a small percentage. I hope I win the lotto but the change of that was less ;-)
But Dr Stalmans told me the succesrate is 98.5 or something so I HOPED not to be the 1.5% ;-) With these odds I liked to bet... so there I was making the appointment the same day.
I scheduled it in october to be done in januari...... and christmas was in januari for me when he had done my first eye.
I became the person again who I was before the floaters....
Be fair people most of you are thinking about it everyday. When your in a meeting you follow these buggers. When driver you follow them.
When you not try to see them ...you see them even more clear ;-)
But your not alone...my girlfriend has them also and she does not care. She says...there just there and there are more important things in life....
so than I say.... that has to be me ;-) (I get no answer *Laugh*)
So if you can live with it....good for you....if not....complain a lot the first 4 weeks and talk about until you don't have a friend left anymore...but after that....make an choice!!!
I go to sleep now....take care you all!
Regards
Sim
