Eye Balls

 Rod was seeing weird lights in his eye again.
That hasn't happened in more than a decade.
But when he sees them, he knows what they are....

So a couple weeks ago he headed to the
eye doctor for a Saturday walk-in appointment.

Sure enough, the doctor said his retina
in his LEFT eye was tearing.
(The right eye has detached TWICE)

He made an appointment with a specialist
for this past Friday.
When he went in, the retina was torn
all the way around, but luckily NOT
yet detached - so they did a "quick"
laser repair.
While he was AWAKE!!!
He said it was pretty uncomfortable.


They didn't put a patch on it or anything.
This is NOT an actual picture of him this weekend,
since I was in Tampa and unable to capture a photo...
But this IS likely what he looked like.

He took this week off.
He isn't allowed to pick up ANYTHING 
even slightly heavy for the next 3 weeks.
But at least he isn't sitting face-down 24/7 for 
the next month.

Because he is home today, he is going to the
Bishops Storehouse with us today.
Not sure what he will be able to do while there,
but it will be fun to have him come along and
see how we spend our Wednesdays.
