spent the last 3 days being told I had a detached retina. No doctors in Boston or Portland around the fourth. No one is taking call these days if they're speciallists. Stupid fucks. Anyway, had laser eye surgery yesterday. Racing might be over . . . then again, it might not . . . We'll know in a few days.

no, I had lasik in 1997. This was a different issue.

NOT a detached retina, thanks god.

Retinal tear with a bleeding vein in the eye.

If they tell you it doesn';t hurt, (the laser) don't believe them.

PS. BFD, it happened in Portsmouth on the way back from your house.

What happens normally to everyone at about age 60-70 is the vitreous sac completely detaches from the retina. in my case, due to a bit more myopia than the normal nearsighted person, the vitreous decided to detach a little early, and not completely as happens to most people, so instead, it has only partially detached, thus tearing at the retinal wall, creating a spot of tension. That spot apparently decided to tear away, and, of course, there was a tiny vein that was across the tear and subsequently ruptured sending A LOT of blood into my eye ball. weird. The blood will take a month or so to go away. i know more about the eye now than i want to.

This had nothing to do with a crash, driving, loving aaron the wrong way or anything . . . just my bad.
