A quick eye update.
Well, I'm a bit over a day out from emergency eye surgery. The doctor at the follow-up was very happy with what happened. Me? Healing is a hard process. Currently, my left eye socket is a bit sore and swollen, and I'm tearing up constantly. That's to be expected. I'm also working hard to maintain a head-down position to keep the injected gas bubble in the right place.
And how fucking cool is that? Right now, the is a bubble of gas that was injected into my eyeball to help reshape the eye along with a metal band doing the same job. Lasers have been shot into my eye to weld the retina back into place. Science fucking rocks!
The big drawback is that the eyedrops are burning like shit due to the healing hoping on, and frankly I'm in the "more annoyed than hurting" phase of recovery. But, I'll keep soldiering on, like I always do. The next big milestone is a follow-up very early Thursday morning. I'm very optimistic.
Now the really good news, we've hit our funding goal on the Go Fund Me! But since this was an emergency surgery, there was no time to get authorization, so we're wary of surprise big bills. So we're keeping it open, and do ask that you keep sharing the link. Thank you to everyone who has helped out in this latest crisis.
