Second Opinion

A bit over a week ago now I was back in the hospital. My eyesight was improving but I was getting a lot of 'floaters'... Things floating in my field of vision, and out to the right.. Well there wasn't anything out to the right. I could think of a number of plausible reasons, but one of them was that my retina wasn't as fast as it should be. so, rather than wait for my next checkup I took me off to the hospital to sit in the queue.
He didn't exactly suck through his teeth, but after a good look round the doctor said there was fluid under the retina at the edge, and please come back on monday so the surgeon can check it over...
So for two days I was really walking on egg-shells and somewhat morose - but monday morning bright and early I was sat outside the doctors office.
and the verdict was that there was no fluid.. And seeing nothing out to the right is OK because they used lasers to close the holes, and that causes local damage.. which should improve a bit with time - but not much I reckon.
Still, all in all, I prefer my second second opinion.
