I wasn't planning on another update for today, but so many are writing and wondering. The surgeon yesterday said that he could find no infection, no detached retinas etc. But my vision was a tad worse than last Friday. At the present time, he feels that it is still swelling behind the eye that is causing some of the problem, plus the floating gel behind the retina (same thing as causes floaters which many of us know all about!) is possibly causing the flashing lights. I have had not had them today thankfully. Patience and I should begin to see an improvement one of these days! At the present time, I can make out colors with my left eye and a hazy view of the world. It might be one iota better but nothing drastic yet. I have an appt with my regular eye doctor Friday (same practice) and hopefully by then I can read more of the eye chart past the big "E"! He said also that the eye heals from the outside in so I might notice an improvement on the edges of my eye before getting my full vision back. If I notice a decreasing in my vision, then I must get back in to see what can be done. I asked him about using my eyes for computer work/reading/tv and he said "go for it" - it will not hurt my eye at all. So I am on line hit and miss and trying to continue with my normal, though out of focus and a little out of balance, life. I'm getting plenty of rest, using my eye drops, don't have to use the shield anymore and seldom have to use the darkened specs. I drove day before yesterday and yesterday and have no problem other than seeing the blur in my left eye. Thanks for your concern - I won't make a daily post unless there is a problem - I'll make posts hit and miss and answer email hit and miss too. Thanks for your concerns, prayers, good wishes, ecards ... you know how much they mean to me!
