I may be taking a blog Break until further notice as I recover from eye surgery although hopefully the tough part is over and I won't have to. I have been feeling a lot better the past few days, using my phone a bit more to catch up briefly online.
The eye doc noticed a problem a few weeks ago requiring a second surgery (the surgery is called a Pars Plana Vitrectomy) which was done June 25. The surgery itself was successful but it always depends on how recovery goes. Every checkup is important. I see the Dr tomorrow. I have had to sleep face forward on a massage table for the past 10 days. And keep my face down all day with a 10 min break every hour. The vision in my right eye is now very blurry because a gas bubble was put in my eye which clears gradually in 6-8 weeks from surgery date. Oh, It was 50% cheaper to buy the table from Amazon than to rent it for that period.
I have been watching a lot of videos (permitted by the doctor) on an ipad from my massage table. Loving Netflix chef's table series including their street food segments. Voicemails from Isabelle is also a cute Netflix movie.
My family has been incredibly supportive. I am lucky in that way.

Take time to heal Christine your eyes are so important.
My MIL is under the Ophthalmology department hoping to find out what her problem is as she has minimal sight in her right eye and waited nearly 2 years for this appointment...
I am sure you will find lots to keep you entertained on Netflix maybe an art biopic or series, there's a few hidden gems..
Take care Tracey x
Good luck! I hope the recovery goes well. ❤️
Best of luck to you on your recovery!
Continued healing my friend.

Hoh-boy. That sounds... tough, so I keep myself short:

Wow! Prayers for patience with recovery. I think JFK Jr had to be on a table similarly after back surgery. Linda in Kansas

Good luck with the rest of your recovery and I hope you don't need any more surgeries. I can't imagine laying face down all day, but saving your vision definitely makes it worth it. Here's to a speedy recovery or at least that it feels speedy.
Hoping for you to have an amazing recovery that does not take long and you bounce back full of joy and sight.
Sorry I haven't been around but lupus has had me down. I'm sorry you had to have a second surgery on your eye. Happy to hear the surgery was successful. Sending healing energy for a full recovery.
I'm glad things went well. I'm hoping everything clears up for you soon.
Thanks for your post

Hope a second surgery won’t be necessary. Good idea to buy the table. Why not get a massage, too?
Good to hear the surgery was successful. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I watched Voicemails for Isabel last night and it was cute.
Oh, Christine. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, but it sounds like you are taking it like a warrior. Glad the family is so supportive. Do what ever you need to do to get your eye healthy. We will leave the light on for ya.
