My Absence - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Foggy · 02-04-2021, 11:42 AM

It's been 3 months since I have been on here. A very long 3 months.

The reason: November I ended up having to have emergency eye surgery.
Had to have my eyeball and eyelid scraped.
Talk about a doctor's very steady hand and good eyes.

During this time I had an eye contact bandage placed in my eye that needed changed often, so I saw this doctor every two days for six weeks.
($45.00 copay each visit--ouch-- that hurts worse than the eye!)

In December my eye got infected and became swollen.
The infection is now gone and I will see him again on Monday February 8.

He also told me I needed to get eyeglasses with some kind of tint that protects the eye from computer screens and to stay off the computer until I do. (so, at this time I'm breaking the doctor's orders today)

Just thought everyone should know where I have been and I will be back in the future.

So until then --- Foggy out

Foggy,

Thoughts and Prayers, I hope that you have a successful recovery.

Try using the Night Light function in Windows. Sounds like you were exposed to too much blue light.

Foggy, it’s so good to see you post for the first time since November

Sounds like you had a very rough few months. Glad you're doing better, just don't over do it and strain your eyes. Tinted glasses will probably help.

Wow, you've been through a lot. I'm glad your eye is better.
