I know ive been gone for awhile and right after I got back and started contacting all of you I had to go into the emergency room for my left eye... apparently my retina was tearing off and I would go blind if I didnt have surgery to put a buckle in my eye. Right after the operation I was put under strict bedrest for five days... I had to lay down on my back for five whole days while trying not to move my head. After that I went to see the doctor again and was told that my retina still hadnt fully attached so I went into the emergency room yet again so that they could pump some gas into my eye and glue on my retina. After that was a day of laying face down while trying not to drool on my bedsheets and trying not to smother myself while sleeping. So here I am again... I have to hold still for 48 hours so that the glue sets properly or else my retina will never be able to reattach itself and I will be permentantly blind.

So here is what I have in my eye: a buckle of some sorta, gas, and glue.
Here are all the positions I have had: Face up (5 days), face down (1 day), sitting up (estimated 2 days).

Isnt it so wonderful? It will take 6-8 weeks for the gas to come out of my eye, untill then everything is a huge blurr and I cant even tell how many fingers someone holds up to my face. Ill try to get around to replying to old PMs and ill attempt to contact all of you.
