Default Re: Detached Retina

I am a victim of cataract surgery gone awry resulting in a detached and torn retina.Not realizing what it was ,I compounded the damage by going on a business trip for four days before seeing a doctor. By that time the damage was severe, After two surgeries; one experimental procedure and 6-8 air, gas bubble injections ,I am legally blind in that eye. My tear and detachment were a result of a severe sneezing spell. So if this happens to you and you start to see flashes of light and or a black space in the corner of your eye, get to your eye doctor immediately. The air, gas bubble injections in the eye are no fun.

Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
