Eye Checkup Today Not Good, Having Another Eye Surgery Today

This morning I met with my eye doctor for a post op.  It didn’t take long before for he said things didn’t look good.  I had more fluid build up on my eye and I had developed a lot of scar tissue.  My problem is I heal too quickly.  My wife has always been amazed that I’ll get a cut one day and then almost be healed the next.  While I am no Wolverine when it comes to healing I do tend to heal faster than most.  When it comes to healing in the eye, slower is better.

The doctor scheduled me immediately for surgery for today at 1:00 PM.  This time the procedure will be a vitrectomy with silicone oil. 

I knew something wasn’t right as I knew the measurements I had taken on my eye the past week didn’t show any progress.  This surgery is not suppose to be as bad as the last one, but really, are there any good eye surgeries? I don’t think so. 

Here we go again.
