My leukemia's back.

Keep us posted.....we worry!

Wow, sure hope Al made it in time, or the doctor is sympathetic and stayed knowing "if there is no snow, it is construction season" and Al has a 2 hour drive.

 

[Alaskan]

He waited... which was good...


It is 2 things...

I am old no duh. So the eye is changing.. the technical words escape me... but the jelly in the eye is shrinking and pulling away from the sides and so causing more floaters... SHOULD be fine (just a process of aging) , but the next 6 weeks while the eyes shift I am at the highest risk of retinal detachment.... so I need to watch it closely

2. I am super stressed and the stress has caused a bit of fluid buildup under the retina (not glaucoma, not high blood pressure), and it will just make things a bit fuzzy until I figure out how to unstress.

Oh yeah.

 

[Alaskan]

Thanks for the crossed fingers and prayers and thoughts in the waiting room.

For a start stop banging your head against things. Not so bad 'Al'. My doctor would say, "It's part of the normal process." Yeah - gettin' old.

 

[ronott1]

Little stressed.

Have to drive 2 hours 1 way...

To see if I am having a retinal detachment

Did you get hit in the head?

I am very sorry! Eye problems can be scary

I hope it gets better soon

I have read about a procedure that removes and replaces the jelly in the eye

With my luck I’d draw another quack and he’d use raspberry jam....the floaters wouldn’t be gone, just replaced by seeds. <sigh>

Glad he waited for you. Now de-stress....

 

[Alaskan]

I have read about a procedure that removes and replaces the jelly in the eye

I actually asked about that...I fantasize about getting that done... and a new lens

The doc though said it makes a retinal detachment WAY more likely... and I am already at high risk.

Oh... and yes... drive myself

I hope the stresses calm down soon but in the meantime:
Om, Om, Om
