@northoftheborder the laser welds the retina back ..it doesnt take long...like maybe 30 min ..but your vision will prob take a month or so to clear up...

Good luck- you are a warrior and dont deserve any more of this BS..so hope this all goes smooth...

Courage is a very admireable trait !

@xahnegrey40 Thank you. It went as well as it possibly could have. My retina had fully reattached in just 2 days, I aced the eye chart with my injured eye (which had been almost 50% obscured), I got the laser surgery, and I have only 5 more days of positioning restrictions (relaxed from before so that they won't put the same strain on my hip and spinal fusion).

I'll be able to have a normal Christmas Eve and Christmas with my family, which is so important to me after spending Christmas 2021 alone in a hospital bed on a floor under COVID lockdown.

Thank you, everyone, for your support.
