To my wonderful wife! Happy Birthday Yeobo!! Salanghae…

So I’ve had this ‘thing’ in my eye for a few weeks now. After becoming increasingly irritated by it, I dialed up my optometrist and made an appointment to get it checked out. Luckily, I had already picked up Spanky’s dry cleaning and rinsed out his Crocs so it was no problem to bail out of work.

I went down to the office and they couldn’t see anything so they dilated my eyes and went in for a better look. After 15 minutes of examination which nearly caused me to pass out, they found a tear in my retina. They weren’t all that impressed that I had waited three weeks to get it looked at. “We’re going to get you into surgery today.” Surgery? Holy…

I was off to a specialist (who I never saw), got dilated again and then to the medical center where I met the surgeon. After almost three hours of waiting, I was in the chair. Surgery is a strong term as it’s all done with a laser but it was pretty intense. I liken it to someone arc welding inside my eyeball while they poked me with a pin. I could see my veins and my cornea. From the inside…

Anyway, it was only 5 minutes and while not terribly painful, it certainly wasn’t pleasant. In any event, I’m fine. My eye is sore and I can see the scar but apparently that will clear up.

And old age begins to take hold…
