Okay, Karen thanks everyone and says she loves you all!
The good news is, it is not a new tear, her retina did NOT detach. What has happened is a blood vessel broke in the back of her "good" eye yesterday, and that should clear up in a day or so, and her vision will be back to where it was a few days ago very quickly. She saw a different doctor today, and he was excellent, comforting, explained things, and even got a big piece of white paper and a thick black marker to draw her a simple chart that she could kind of see, so blessings on that doc!
It happens because we move our eyes around, especially during REM sleep. If it continues to happen, there is surgery that can be done, but that's a last resort as it does carry some risk, so we hope it won't come to that.
Thanks for the prayers, everyone! I read everyone's comments to her, and she just kept saying, "Oh, I love her!" to each in turn!
