Eyeball!
This isn’t my eyeball, but this is what I had: a horseshoe retinal tear. The little white dots are where this poor bastard got whacked with a laser. That’s exactly how many times it felt like, too. Doesn’t seem to leave much of a peephole, does it? And it doesn’t actually seal the edges of the tear, either, so I dunno how it works.
Just, ew.
If it heals properly, those little white dots turn into little black dots of scar tissue. Yay, I guess.
Anyway, I was forbidden going to the gym until the follow up appointment, and they were three weeks late for the two week follow up, so I’m delighted to say they just called and said they had an opening tomorrow afternoon. Wish me happy little black dots!
On the road tomorrow, but I’ll tuck you in before bed.
