Vitrectomy


Husband M and I went to this restaurant and decided to split a western omelette (eggs with sweet pepper, onions and ham) breakfast.  The portions are quite large so we were happy and full afterward without feeling as if we had overeaten.


This former co-worker that I reconnected with recently had eye surgery, a vitrectomy to correct a problem in one of her eyes with its vitreous humor. She risked retinal detachment without the surgery.  She is only about 56 years old.  The surgery went well and she is very happy with her retinal specialist who has been monitoring her condition over the past 6 years.  The recovery period is 2 to 8 weeks but she is already driving out and about.  In fact, we will be meeting for coffee in the coming days.

That breakfast looks good, yummy! I have had several operations to mend a torn retina, and I am always happy that they are able to do such things today. I had my first OP when I was in my forties. Have a good week, hugs, Valerie

I'm glad your friends surgery went well. My eye problems could be fixed with surgery but the risk of going blind is enough to scare me away.

My husband and I often split a restaurant meal, sometimes adding an extra salad or side dish.

Eye surgery is something I hope I never go through

My Breakfast drink didn't fill me up - and this looks delicious - now I have to go make me something of substance. Good news about your friend and her eye surgery.

That's a great choice with the meal. My husband and I often share an order because the portions are just too big sometimes!
