HeadExam 1,783 #1 Posted August 19, 2015 This time the right eye, retina nearly fully detached. Surgery went as well as could be expected, next week we see how successful it was. I may need to change my profile picture to reflect a change of patch position Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeadExam 1,783 #4 Posted August 19, 2015 Kind of embarrassing, but before i stopped drinking I had quite a few brawls, apparently blows to the eye/temple area seem to be a contributing factor, at least that is what my doctor surmised. I woke up this weekend and there was a dark curtain over one eye. I had emergency surgery to save my eyesight on Monday morning 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #5 Posted August 19, 2015 Alain, good luck with your recovery. A friend of mine had a similar operation on his eye and made a full recovery. 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #6 Posted August 20, 2015 The biggest issue is no work or school for 6 days. I have to lay on my stomach or right side most of the day and night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #7 Posted August 20, 2015 Ouch, that's not good Alain... Wishing you a speedy recovery as it's rather hard to drive any of your machines lying on your stomach.. 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
