OMG! Please pray for me UPDATE 8/22 more surgery

[K9karen]

Suddenly, today, I noticed floaters, swirls in my left eye. The GOOD eye. The only one that I can see from and yes, the eye that's perfect after cataract surgery in April.

Now I have a white film and can barely see. I have an emergency retina surgeon appointment tomorrow morning at 830a. My surgeon isn't in so I just asked for anyone.

I can barely see typing this. The font is HUGE.

I am petrified, worried, upset, beside myself with fear. If this retina is detached and I have to have silicone glue put in to hold it in place, I will be blind. This eye does all the work. The right eye is useless.

Please, please, please keep me in your prayers. I don't know how I'm going to sleep. My brother is going to take me and I hope he can take the day off if needed.

OMG! OMG! I can't even cry.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I pray the surgery will be a success and you will have a speedy recovery.

Prayers on the way. I hope it is something minor. A detached retina usually has different symptoms, flashes of light, doesn't it? I'll send you my phone number via PM, give it to your brother so he can call us tomorrow if you cannot, okay?

Karen, I'm so sorry to hear this. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

My father had a detached retina in both eyes about 10 years a part of each other. Yes, flashes of light is the main symptom. This is hereditary so every other year when I have my eyes examined, I also have my eyes dilated so the doctor can look at my retinas.

Oh, Karen, prayers for you and good wishes that the surgery goes well.

Hopefully, this is Vitreous detachment which is very common in people over 40

My friend just had this happen and it presented as a floater and cloudy spot (like there was a smudge on her contact lens).

You will be in my thoughts and prayers that it's nothing more serious.

Karen, I surely hope your remedy will be an easy one and that things work out just fine for you.

Karen, I hope it's something that the surgeon can fix tomorrow and you'll be able to see well again. I'm sending lots of positive thoughts.

I had a floater a couple of years ago, but now I hardly notice it anymore.

Good luck!!!
