weekly update [pohs]

Well it's been 2 weeks since my Avastin injection.  I've noticed a lot of improvement in my vision.  Today at work I was able to disable Windows Magnifier.  Yay!  I've been doing A LOT of research on POHS.  I keep reading that stress is a major factor in bleeding onset.  I know that this is controv…
