Another Wednesday, another round of laser surgery. Sigh.
Those of you who've been reading my blog recently know that I've had two surgeries for tears in my retina in the last couple of months. So I wasn't completely surprised when I went in to the ophthalmologist this morning for a followup and learned I now had two more tears. Yep, so more laser surgery for me this morning.
This time, though, instead of just sealing the tears, he went along the entire periphery of the retina and sealed it down to stop any more tears from forming. He seems rather optimistic about this procedure, since my next followup isn't until March, but I'll be watching for any changes to my vision in the meantime.
As a result of this extra long procedure, I have a headache and my eyes are still so dilated that I need sunglasses inside the house, so this post will be quite short. Stop by again on Friday for the Writing links.

Hopefully that does the trick.
ReplyDeleteWow, hope you get better soon, Ken! I've only scratched up my retinas, not torn them.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Ken! I sure hope this is it. How incredibly blessed we are to live in an age where retinas can be repaired. Cheese for you while you heal up!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the recovery. I hope all goes well.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you had to go through it again. Hope this does it this time. Feel better soon. Juneta @ Writer's Gambit
