RWG Technical Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 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. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir-Lancelot Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cskent69 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltatahoe Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 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) deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
