in the last 6 weeks, my vision has gotten “considerably worse”.
in addition too wet macular degeneration and glaucoma and cataracts and upper retinal membrane I now have a macular hole. Normally there’s a little dent in the retina, mine is a hole now.
so I’m looking at a trip to Miami where they scrape the upper retinal membrane off, and then they inject a gas into the eyeball to create pressure that somehow can help cure the hole.
Since they inject a gas, it creates pressure. Since there’s pressure, I won’t be able to fly for 6 weeks after the operation.
in the image above, normal is on the bottom mine looks like b or c but much more messy. Jagged edges and rough looking.. Mine looks like broken, disintegrating plastic.
Maybe I’ll take a cruise ship from the Miami back to Grand Cayman..
Have a great weekend !
Uggh sorry to hear that.
Bonita had her retina tear loose and was quickly getting worse, had emergency surgery injecting gas bubble. Then had to keep her head tipped down as much as possible for days, to keep the bubble pushing her retina the correct way so it would reattach. She read a lot with the book in her lap.
It worked and healed fine!
Then a year or so later the other one started!!!
Had it done before it got urgent, and didn’t have to tip her head for as long.
It healed fine as well!
Let me know if you need help or if there’s something I can do. I’d offer for you to stay here awhile but think you’d go crazy from boredom, or from the grandkids !
Thanks man! I haven’t worked out all the logistics yet, but will keep you in mind! Much appreciated!
