I haven’t posted in a while and that’s mostly due to some personal issues that I have going on right now. Its difficult for me to explain everything that is going on in my life and I only wish some of it was good. If this opening has given you the impression that I’m throwing myself a pity party you’re probably right. Some of you have already heard about this because you were there when it happened or you’ve gotten an email from me on it since then. But for those of you that haven’t…
A little over a week ago during the first day of a 3 day golf vacation I injured my left eye pretty severely. The tale of exactly how I did this is pretty short and not really worth sharing. The current result is a complete inability to see out of my left eye. There was initially a lot of blood floating around on the inside, also known as Hyphema for you medical types. The only piece of good news I’ve gotten over the course of the last week is that some of the blood has clotted up and that the clot is beginning to dissipate naturally.
In the meantime there is some severe damage to my retina. Some of the insides have literally been torn away from where they should be. Again for you med types the official diagnosis is cyclodialysis cleft.
I’ve been to a specialist and am currently in the process of being referred to another, but when it’s all said and done there is a strong chance of needing surgery, but again it is still much too early to know for sure.
So there’s your update. I will most likely be fairly reticent for the near future until life has gotten back to normal
