It has been almost 2 weeks since surgery. Up until Saturday afternoon I was feeling good. My vision had been slowly improving, and I was feeling stronger, able to do more. I don't know if I over did or what, but ... sometime during a nap something went wrong. When I woke up, vision in my left eye was very blurry. I wasn't terribly worried as I had been told things could still get worse before they got better, but I was concerned. Here is an example of what I see left eye only:
Yep, somewhere in there is a room and stuff.
At my doctor's appointment today, the doctor found that there has been a hemorrhage in my eye. Some in front of the retina, some behind. This is rare, particularly given the time since surgery, but not unheard of. The remedy at this point is rest. I am back to restricted activity, no lifting (< 25 lbs.), and lots of rest. The doctor wants to give my eye sometime to clear normally before we do anything further.
So, I will rest; try not to do much and spend some time with my eyes closed. Thanks for reading.
