I still have 2-4 weeks to go before it will be known if this recent surgery was successful. (the first one was.) when I googled images for "retina detachment", I came across the picture on this page and totally cracked up. why do I find it hilariously funny? I have no idea whatsoever but have the feeling you are as ________ challenged as I am. (fill in the blank with whatever word you please.) also, a word of wisdom... (I learned this about two weeks ago.) NEVER defy a glass wall. if it is thin, both of you will lose. if it is thick, only you will lose. and if you are lucky, a bump on your head will be your worst injury. no matter how you see it or don't see it, trust me on this, a glass door will not mysteriously evaporate into air to please you because you are too stupid to realize that the entry way is that other clear area next to the one that you thought was a clear area and tried to go through. and your eyes that did not bother to tell you to look before you weep will not only punish you by letting you get that bump on your head, one of them simply might fall out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478885332727102848.post-16040699058853312272010-02-09T23:50:09.039-05:002010-02-09T23:50:09.039-05:00I remember floaters...right after I ate something ...I remember floaters...right after I ate something a tie-dyed bespecalled youth gave me a Dead show once.

Regular glasses are perfect, but I hate them since I wore them throughout all of school.<br /><br />My Mom has had retinal issues in the past (in fact I think I blogged about it once - or I think I blogged about it). It was very scary. But there's not much to do about it except wait. And that is, indeed, the scariest part.<br /><br />P.S. My optometrist asked a few years ago if I had considered Lasik and I said "No" and he said "Good for you!" and with lots more explaining said he had had repeat surgeries yet still had to wear glasses, especially for reading. No Lasik for me, either.Pop and Icehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09293232401852452071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478885332727102848.post-9361895465307155182010-02-08T09:07:15.003-05:002010-02-08T09:07:15.003-05:00I meant "last"
