Hi folks.
I originally asked that Pete keep this information to himself, but I quickly realized that I needed all of the good wishes I could get.
I have been having issues with my left eye since the last cataract surgery in November. It just didnt heal like the first eye.
I went to my eye dr yesterday for a series of tests on my retina and was told everything looked great and that there were no problems. I was eleated but knew that there was something wrong.
After describing my symptoms again, the dr started looking for other things and realized that my retina was detached or detaching. I'm told that this was difficult to see / diagnose due to where it's happening.
I was sent to a retina specialist poked and prodded and realized rhe severity of the issue. I'm scheduled for retina surgery and a vitrectomy (sp). I'm having something called a buckle put around my eye in order to support the retina while it reattaches. I'm not even sure what that means, but I hole it matches my
crocs.
I will be having surgery tomorrow morning and am waiting to hear when and where I need to go for bloodwork today.
I cant begin to tell you what y'all mean to me and how much I appreciate the good wishes and prayers.
I'm a bit of an emotional mess today but thank God for John. He's unbelievable support and stability. I'm a lucky, lucky guy.
Thank you all again and I will keep you all posted.
Kevin
