The Detached Retina - A Follow Up!

Isn't it amazing how these things can often come up when we are making other plans - like a vacation!  I've had a couple times in life with my plans were interrupted by THE PLAN!

a few more prayers.

Oregon will still be there...whenever you finally get to go.

Good luck being at anyone's beck & call, that's a skill I've not mastered yet, no matter how much love there is.

Good morning Joanna Cohlan,

I'm sorry to hear about the first unsuccessful surgery but feel sure this second one will take care of things for George. He couldn't have a better care giver and I'm sure there will be a reward for Joanna's "call girl" I mean "beck in cal girl" role!! Take care of yourself too!!

Good morning Joanna.  Interesting post as my wife has had floaters for years.  She gets her eyes checked every year and the doctors have not mentioned anything about a detached retina.....

Joanna - so sorry to hear and I hope George's surgury was successful. I am sure he appreciates having you by his side.

The older I get the more I worry about what would happen if.  My correction is HUGE.  And when I recently got new contacts, I found myself in the grocery store after two months with them, unable to make out facial features on anyone. Scary, but a trip to the eye doctor and we are figuring out the right fit, contact lens type and my astigmatism correction.  

Joanna Cohlan Wishing your husband well and thank you for the warnings.  Eyes are nothing to fool around with.

OH, geez, I am SO LATE to read about this! So....is he now on his stomach for two weeks? When will you know how it is doing? Eyes heal quickly, that much I know. I've been wanting to get a letter off to you and work keeps getting in the way...darn it! Hugs, George!! But don't sit up!

Joannah I am sorry to hear about your husbands eye issues...I had a similar situation where it was about to get detached and my Doctor gave me his cell phone number and if I needed to call him he was available...lucky for me I did not need to call him...Endre

Oh dear. I'm bummed to hear he had to go through this twice. :( Poor George. Oddly, the person I know who had this happen - also had to have it done twice. Curious. His surgeries were in Seattle. 

As for Nurse Joanna. Do you wear heels with your white mini dress?  George is a lucky guy, regardless of what you're wearing. 

Those are the exact symptoms my husband had too when he rushed to the doctor. There is no waiting when that happens. Glad your guy is hopefully on the mend. He has an excellent "call girl".

Joanna our household is very similar I am a terrible patient and Diane is  a nurse Ratchett too:)) I prefer a Call Girl myself:)) Look forward to your good news update,Endre

Oh Joanna, sorry to hear this and what a tough road he has had...yes, should we all not line up where certain surgery should be...I hope the 2nd surgery goes well.  You are a great nurse I am sure...better days ahead & that vacation waits for you.

Joanna Cohlan Have you figured out how to lay the iPad on the floor or a bit higher so he can use it in his upside down position?

Tell George to enjoy having his own Nurse Ratchett.

It's tough keeping a good man down!
