Long Covid limited my ability to do things, now eye surgery reduces me to sitting in front of a screen for about 3 months... it hurts to look down, looking forward doesn't, and it was my dominant eye.... the gas bubble they injected is about 40%, so I'm past half way... but it's really not a fulfilling existence right now.
Hopefully I'll be doing much better towards the end of summer. 8)
PS: In the meanwhile, I've got some programming projects to try.
- kradeelav 4y agoDetached retina? (personally at very high risk for one, and the gas bubble and limited mobility was a clue.) Just went through complicated cataracts surgery myself -- sending best wishes over to you for fast and solid healing. I know it isn't as good as an action, but you have this stranger's thoughts briefly in mind.
- mikewarot 4y agoYep... woke up, and couldn't see my nose from my right eye (the dominant one!)... IMMEDIATELY called my ophthalmologist and got an emergency appointment, then told my Wife. She was impressed and happy I took initiative. It seems I was lucky, and my quick action delayed further damage. My mom had the same thing happen years back, and she waited a few days, to see if things would get better on their own. I learned from her experience not to wait.
