Testing

No patch, at least for now. During the last surgery they put in a gas
bubble to keep my retina in place and told me it would dissolve in 5-7
weeks. It's been 3 so far and I can see about 1/4 of the way if I patch my
left eye and it's all oily like Kinda like looking through glasses that are
too strong and dirty. Nothing to depend on right now for sure. I know it
will get better though.

Nuts ain't the word! What's driving me nuts is having to be in an upward or
standing position all the time. I've been sleeping in my recliner for the
past 3 weeks so that I don't lay any lower than a 30 degree angle. I sure
do miss my bed! I can't drive and I can't lift anything over 5 lbs. Can't
even cook for myself because when you cook, you put your head down to see
what you are doing. Kinda like being in a neck brace I suppose.

Look at it this way - it's a small, little bit of your lifetime. It'll be
over with in due time and life will get back to normal.

Well, I don't see anyone sneaking up on you with handcuffs - Stop that,
Linda!!
Anyway, you just got back to the group after a month or so we didn't see
you.

Oh, and while you're at it, don't listen to me sing...I've heard that's bad

Worse case scenario is that I will now have to wear glasses. No biggie!

So true, I was supposed to go Wednesday for a post op checkup but we had a
big snowstorm so I had to put it off until the 22nd. Can't wait to find out
more!

LOL, I will do my best.

Yeah that is generally the idea. Plus I have to make sure the gas bubble
stays in place.
