The end is in sight

[carbonel]

So to speak. I hope.

Tomorrow afternoon I see the retinologist, and if he's still happy with rhe results, I get to hold my head up again. My neck and back are sore from the unnatural position, despite the Valium prescription. As I told Lydy, Valium isn't anywhere near as much fun as a drug with so much abuse reputation asit has should be. She suggested that alcohol needs to be involved (carefully) for maximal recreational effects. I think I'll pass.

In any case, if I get the all-clear tomorrow, I get to go home Thursday, and Friday will either be spent recuperating or easing back into work, depending on how I feel.

I still don't have any useful sight in my left eye, but I only have to wear the eye shield at night; the patch is optional during the day depending on how tired my eye gets.

Looking forward to my cat, my books, my waterbed, and a massage. Necks just aren't _meant_ for this sort of positioning.

More tomorrow, I hope.

I can't imagine having to lie in that position for so long.

Here's hoping it all goes perfectly, and you are home by Thursday.

It certainly is good for things to be in sight. Even better when they're in sight through your left eye

There has not been and still isn't anything I can say that will be of any benefit, but I am reading your posts with interest and concern. Here's hoping things work out well, and rapidly.

You poor thing - after a neck injury a couple of years ago I had to sleep on my back for 9 months or so and I could barely stand that position through a whole night, let alone all the time. Hope all goes well.
