So 6 weeks into my retina detachment and DR says everything going according to plan with the retina.
But surgery caused a fast growing cataract (a common reaction) so it will need removed but not for 2 weeks when the bubble is gone.
So I should be able to see out of both eyes again by the end of March.
Getting being old sucks

Hey, we're not old, we're aged to perfection. Developing exceptional body and aroma: Dial soap, with a touch of Vicks Vapor Rub and side notes of bacon and coffee. Okay, maybe just a wee bit corky. HUGS to you, Z Man.

Appointment this afternoon did not go so good
First - cataract is very dense/solid meaning surgery to remove will be harder and will take longer. It is scheduled for April 26th
Second - retina detachment observation with ultrasound reveals detachment from eye center, the worst kind, the Macula of the retina is affected.
a medical condition which may result in blurred or no vision in the center of the visual field and left untreated can lead to legal blindness in as little as six months.
right now they are giving me less than 50% chance of seeing out of my left eye again.
I all ready have a lack of any vision to my left in both eyes due to a stroke. I don't know how right only in left with center and right only in right will look like.
I have been able to drive by looking left with both eyes often, now it will be further left. But I know several people with out a left eye that drive, so I guess its a learning curve.
Anywat that's my latest update.

Well dang Z Man. Tough news but miracles happen. I know that feeling of losing sight in that left eye but I'm thinking maybe I can get 50% at least back. That's what I'm praying for.

What? Must be something in the water! Me, Woodyz, TW and CCMaMa all having vision loss at the same time.
I can only hope and pray y'all have as great a miracle as I truly believe happened to me. Going on 3 weeks since my surgery and still have my sight in my eye. Dr. is weaning me off my eye drops. Yes, I feel fully blessed.
Continued prayers for you all and there is great power in prayers, don't think otherwise.
