I had a torn retina yrs ago- it was scary but amazing how easily and quickly it was fixed with ARGON laser...I wish you a quick recovery...lots of blood flow in that area and it will heal up nicely I bet...the first 48 hrs are critical to not re injure...

hope they gave you some sleep medicine..and I hope you have someone to assist while you recover !!
Best wishes !

@xahnegrey40 I may get the laser treatment this afternoon. They wanted to reattach the retina first; if it looks good enough, I hope they'll address the small tear. Right now, it's just the pressure of the gas bubble holding it closed.
