Keep your head down, and learn to watch TV with a mirror.
(Had this surgery in 1988...)

Good luck!

[Chupaca]

But it will pass and things will get back to normal...a weeks not too bad...all the best..

[Bob Denman]

It is really weird-looking; when the eyeball starts filling itself back up with ocular fluid...

[SpyderAnn01]

Good luck with the surgery.

They had to use stitches to pull the retina back in place...laser wouldn't work...thanks for the thoughts

That does not sound like any fun, hope all is good and goes well for you.

I had one last March. The doctor had me do nothing but watch TV for the first week, then no hard activity for another 4 weeks. Then another 4 weeks of limited activity. I could drive and teach classes (I teach part time, so they allowed me to work). My eyesight is just fine now. Take it easy. And yes the bubble is a unique experience.

Wish you the best.

[Bob Denman]

Glad to see that you're back, and thanks for the update!
Keep your head down, and avoid anything that raises the blood pressure in your head!
I hate to mention this example, but don't even "push too hard", when you're on the toilet.
Coughing and sneezing are also not a good thing.

Glad to hear that you are on the mend.

Bob D.,

Does that mean I'm not to post pics. of pretty girls showing their back side?

My memory may be a little faulty here; but, were you the one who was drinking a lot of coffee to lose a few pounds? I think you were around 160, and wanted to lose a few more. If you were the one, check this out. I was surfing the net b/c I thought I remembered you from mentioning coffee. If it wasn't you, don't bother looking, and I'll remove this later.

He'll just have to promise to not look too closely at them!

I weighed 145 two days ago...have had 1 granola bar, 2 pieces of bread..and water in the last 48 hrs...not feeling like the first chicken of spring at present

[Bob Denman]

Did they have to put a scleral buckle around the eyeball?

EDIT:
I'm adding this picture so that you know why your eyesight is so important

God Bless America!

[jScotD]

I don't think they did...I have been to tired to read the report...and yet eyesight is important...what a sight for sore eyes.

[Bob Denman]

After thinking about it a bit: they probably didn't have to...
Which is a good thing!

(I had to have one due to the diabetic retinopathy problems...)

I hope the surgery will go well.
