[QUOTE="leb, post: 308194, member: 45044"] Ac i think your previous post us so true. I dont think anyone who hasnt been through it can really understand just how frightening it is. I guess thsts the same with all things in life but that doesnt make it any easier to deal with at the time. ub i can underdtand what you say about not wanting to frighten people but i too thi k this forum is invaluable to those who face problems espevially in the beginning. It was this forum that really helped me tjrough, learning about the dreaded eye problens and getting kind words form the likes of yourself , ac and rrb to name but a few :-) well its a week since my op and things seem ti be going ok. Its still very red and ive developed lots of flashing whuch really concerned me. I phoned the eye ward and they saw me the same day jyst to check it out. Thankfully the doc said he couldnt see any tears ir holes appearing and tjinks the flashing iswhere the air bubbke is shrinking and moving hence pushing on the retina at times. My vision us still foggy and i have a few floaters but apparently thus us quite normal fillowing such surgery. I know it stIll early days and i wint kniw if its been succesdful fir a goid few weeks but so far so good. I was soo pleased the other day when i went to the eye unit as i could actually see 3 letters on the eye chart ( i kniw that might sound bad to some but considering i couldnt even see the chart begore the op i was made up) Well i hope you are all feeling well, take care x :-) [/QUOTE]
