remember I bored you folks a month or so ago about the detached retina and macula in my left eye
well, for anyone interested, here is the latest info
original surgery February 8, free floating gas bubble inserted into pupil to hopefully force retina and macula [ which had pulled away from the optic nerve ] into proper place,
restrictions placed on activities
and we had to cancel our whale watching trip to Baja California
___________________________
just got back from my latest DR exam. ( Dr spent a whole 7 minutes with me
)
retina and macula has successfully been forced back into place
limited vision - basically light perceptible
bubble reduced to 60 % still expected to be gone by mid to late April
so far best possible outcome achieved
no way to tell how much more vision I will be able to obtain
restrictions re: flying, change in altitude and how I must sleep ( on right side, keep off my back ) remain, all other restrictions lifted

Next appointment April 16.
so thanks for your good thoughts and I hope you continue to send the same my way.
