DeletePrayers for you Sarge. Eye welding is a tough procedure.
ReplyDeleteDriving one day, I saw a flash and had the blue streak in my eye. That's common as dirt in south Texas. What wasn't common was the sky was overcast and it lasted for more than 15 minutes. Eye doc said if I saw something floating, go straight to his office on my return home. 15 minutes later, there's a floater... The jello in your eye shrinks as you age, and pulls away from the retina. That could tear it, but mine didn't tear. Nearsighted folks have weaker retinas than others do. Got both sides tack welded in all the weak spots. Most uncomfortable thing I've ever forced myself to sit through. The yearly checkups are still good. I can recommend the doc I used in San Antonio.
My left one tore, right one didn't. Left eye functions around 50%.
DeleteSo what I got, Sarge, is "The eyebone is connected to the eyebone holder bone...'
ReplyDeletePrayers up for today!
That was my takeaway as well.
DeleteThanks!
The video link made me recall a musician named Robby Steinhardt from Kansas who I met in 1973 at my small town KS high school prom. That band had only vague regional popularity at the time. Though a violinist rather than cellist he was of large and intimidating size to the still scrawny 11th grade me. The large and dark figures in video made me recall that.

Hoped it would be and you are satisfied.

If it relieves the pressure in that eye, I'll be more than happy.
DeleteThanks!
Crusty Old TV Tech here. Prayers for your swift recovery.
ReplyDeleteOn a more humorous note, when I first saw the illustration at the top of this post, I saw a hippie dude's head with a ponytail sectioned out. Need moar COFFEE!
Now I can't un-see that. 🤣
DeleteThanks!
Steady hands for the doc or whatever they are using these days and quick healing for you, Chris
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThe irony is how much more we pay attention to some senses than to others, or, rather, how much more seriously we take those senses, when every one of our senses is equally important because they all send us signals about how we should live.
ReplyDeleteSadly, even medical practitioners give priorities to one over another.
Sorry you have to deal with this on a weekend, instead of getting time off from work, which would be my preference ...if I wasn't already retired.
Still, it's a four day weekend, so I've got that going for me. 😁
DeleteSending prayers! 🙏❤️🙏
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! (I'm actually in the waiting room now.)
DeleteI hope my prayers for healing are on-time. God bless.
ReplyDeleteYour timing is superb. As always. Thanks Suldog!
DeleteLate to the party as usual. Glad things went well and hope things improve over the weekend. Screwed the pooch this morning when I started to comment. Firefox (the browser that allows me to use my call sign) popped up a message about a new capability to prevent websites from following you all over the internet. I thought that's a great plan and said ok. Oops! Now, Firefox doesn't have the ability to remember me and only offers the anonymous option. So, I've got to figure out how to turn that back off. If anybody's got a clue, I'd appreciate it.

Things went well according to the doc, but I'm Cyclops for the next few hours. Check Firefox settings, you should be able to turn that off in there.
DeleteIn other news Phantom flew for the first time 64 years ago (I think, I wasn't there. 😁)
Eye docs are miracle workers. Even "simple stuff" like cataract surgery when the aged lens in oldsters gets all trashed up and hard to see thru. (Like looking thru a car windshield covered with bugs and dirt after a few years of not being cleaned). They mash up the original lens in the eyeball with lasers, suck it out, and slip in a new plastic replacement. After a couple of weeks you are good as new with zero pain, and only an eye patch for a day plus a couple of nights to avoid damaging the tissue as it heals. So quick you don't even get a parrott to go with the patch.
ReplyDeleteHad my second one done yesterday, first about 3 weeks ago. WONDERFUL!!!!!
That was the easy stuff, Sarge is going for the higher level of complexity and skill, but they are still miracle workers who can fix all sorts of stuff today that was untreatable in our parents era. Prayer for total success in your case.
Thank you docs (and your staffs, it's a team effort).

I couldn't have said it any better. (I had cataract surgery in my left eye a couple of years ago.)
DeleteA couple times now, I've asked eye docs why an eye would change shape? I asked if maybe it was tissue around the eyeball that is changing shape/size, and distorting the eye as a result. The only response I get is "Huh?/wha'chu talkin bout?", or words to that effect. Not exactly the level of expertise I was expecting...
ReplyDeleteHey Sarge, hope things are coming in clearer now that you're almost a full day post-op. Keep that eye patch- it's only a few months until "National Talk Like A Pirate Day!"
