Boy, more good news (sarcasm) the last couple of days.
On Friday I woke up with what looked like a black spot in my right eye. When I turned the lights on, I found out it's a reddish-purple spot. So some emergency calls later, I got in to see my ophthalmologist, and it seems I had a vein blow out in my eye. Teh real bad news is that although I have a couple of floaters (meaning blood is seeping into the vitrious), the spot is essentially blood pooling under the surface of the retina. Fortunately, it hasn't gotten any larger. I have an appointment with my retina surgeon on Wednesday to see what can be done. Hopefully, this can be fixed, so I don't lose either that part of the retina (or the whole eye).
Every time I start digging myself out of the hole I'm in, something/someone comes to start kicking me down again. I'm really done with all this.
I'm beginning to think it's time to punch out, and go look for that village I keep dreaming of.
