How am "EYE" doing...quick update.

[RWG Technical]

I spend most of the afternoon at my local hospital, was seen by two optomalagists, went through a number of tests, and the bottom line is that everything is ok, and I will be fine.

I am quite relieved as I was getting worried because the swelling has not gone down in 5 days. But apart from the swelling, everything is ok, there is no permanent damage, the retina and iris are all fine and I didn't damage the cornea.

It will take about 4-6 weeks for the blood to be absorbed into the eye and my eye return to normal.

My eye is still quite tender and sore so I am limited to what I can do with it, for now it's rest time on the couch.

Zig-

Glad to hear everything is OK and that there is no permanent damage. Take easy and hope you make a full recovery.

Great news RG.

We are all relieved and wish you the best.

[Sir-Lancelot]

Great news.

Don't go pushing yourself to get back quicker, take your time and enjoy the break as much as you can.

We need you around here for the long haul.

Have you seen the shitty lume on the skylands? You are going to be very busy.

[sssurfer]

Never had ay doubt about it, Rob. You [are a] rock.

Once you will notice a first sign of re-absorbing, it will go fast.

[scoobs1971]

That's some great news! Take care and - above all - take it easy.

Have to say - that was pretty scary looking. It would have freaked me out. Good to hear that you (and we humans in general) are more resilient than we probably think.

Get well soon.

That's a great prognosis. Are you getting sick of daytime TV yet?

[Corgi]

Finally I can sleep at night. Thanks be to God that you are doing better.

Remember to rest and take it easy during the recovery process.

great news ziggy

btw, if you are getting sick of daytime TV, a lot of people are raving about the tv series "mad men" that aired on AMC; the DVDs have been recently released...

or, if you're looking for something a little more racy, there is always californication (david duchovny is genius in that show)

Thank god man....

Eyepatches would probably prove difficult to coordinate with your timepieces.

Great news Rob, do you need another bottle of aged anejo tequila to relax with? Anyone going to Canada that can mail a bottle for me?

[promotersf]

Get better soon, I'm sure Jennifer is mixing cocktails as your personal assistant!

That's good news, glad to hear that you'll be alright.

A few weeks off work spent on the couch? Sounds ok to me.

ps. Phew, you're going to be fine. Big relief.

Wonderful news Rob, just take it easy for now after all a little R&R never goes astray.

That is good news rob - nice to see (out of one eye) our health system at work!

[ta8088]

That's fantastic news! Glad that it looks worse than it is and there will be no permanent damage. Hopefully with each passing day it will be a little less tender.
