Ok, I'm trying to be funny to cheer myself up.
I didn't mention this before (a few people know) but 2 weeks ago, for no reason, I noticed terrible flashes and floaters in my right eye. Having such bad eyesight in my right eye, I was always warned to report any of these things immediately. So on Monday, the 16th, I started the first of 3 visits to my retina specialist. Last report on Wednesday, although nothing changed (no tears or rips, but hemmorage behind the eye had stopped and *gel* turned over-whatever that is)
Today, as I'm being examined, I hear the doc say something, in a tone of voice I didn't like. Turns out I need surgery in the hospital.He can't do laser surgery of that magnitude in the office. I now have 2 full tears and 1 partial.
So I had to run to another surgeon, go immediately for blood work at a hospital, call my family doc and insist on a physical tomorrow morning, and report for surgery Wed. Don't know the time yet.
I'll have an eye patch for a while. My eye will be red for about a month. I'm going to buy colorful eyepatches. No way I'm walking around with a red eye in public and freaking people out (including myself-ick)
I am having a hard time seeing and a bit headachy.
Please keep your fingers crossed that all goes well, 'cause it's not a guaranteed result.I appreciate it.
SURGERY WED. AT 10A!
A GAZILLION THANKS FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS. I'M PETRIFIED!
