Had a checkup today. I have a lot of fluid buildup and my retina is pulling. So I'm having more surgery on Wed, the 24th. I'm getting a gas air bubble. That's all I know.

Depending on the time, I'll have the surgery center's van pick me up and take me home. My brother won't take off because he already has today and Thurs. and Friday off. All my other friends are working on on vacation. My BFF's hubby just called me and he's going to drive 3 hours from his vacation spot to help me out. Of course I cried.

My vision will be impaired for approx. 2 weeks. I've been practicing using my right (no clear vision) eye. I'll be OK in my house I think.

Kind of depressed and frustrated. I know my doc is doing everything to save my vision. He's not even smiling anymore. He's really concerned, so I'm grateful for that.

I had to have blood work done today and a physical tomorrow.

So, more good thoughts would be great if you have time. I'm trying to be positive, really.
