jesse_the_kMy latest excuse for not posting arrived around 4:30 this morning. MyGuy had a vitreal detachment in his weaker eye around 6 months ago. The eye doctor counseled "watchful waiting"; the unhappy sequel he was watching for happened this morning: a retinal tear. He will have scleral buckle surgery plus a vitrectomy tomorrow AM. Then they'll create a gas bubble to support the mended retina -- that's what Pneumatic Retinopexy means. He may have to spend the next couple days with his face down.
I hope for the best! The good news is this experience has introduced my dancing tongue to a host of polysyllabic words.
