  1. It's OK really, just rest, take it easy for a while, and hope to see you tomorrow, off out now.........
  2. My first detachment (2001) happened overnight back in England. Went to my local hozzy to be told you have a retina problem, go home pack a bag and make your way to St. Thomas's Hospital in London, they have a bed for you waiting. Hmmm, so, got on a train to the major London hospital. They operated at midnight, full anaesthetic. Woke up the next morning to find I had a plastic clip around the back of my eye 🥺. They said, sorry, we couldn't do anything about the floaters, we put a plastic clip around your eye to fix the retina too, if it gives you any trouble we can remove it later when everything has paired and settled down. As it happened, I couldn't feel it was there, and as far as I know it is still there or disintegrated. The one I had in LOS was a different matter, I had just had a cataract done, which does have a small risk of a detachment, I was unlucky, and the surgeon said there was nothing wrong, but the blackness got worse. A really long story to that.... Anyhoooo, ended up in a gov hozzy up north that had a surgeon and equipment to have a go at it. 5 hour drive, a horrendous time at the hospital to see the main guy, a Professor in the field. He said "you have 2 detachments, I will operate tonight, strangely midnight". "I would like to do the procedure with local anaesthetic, shouldn't be too uncomfortable unless I have to use N2O", he used laser AND N2O, that was painful. Then 4 days in bed laying on my face, then 6 days looking at the floor or laying on my face, my eye was now full of gas pressing on the repair..🤕 But, all is well and fingers crossed.....🤗
  3. I think you may need help chap...... I hope you haven't been mixing with Hf or Malcolm.......😟
  4. Yes, had one 24 years back too....So at the mo, I am on 2 detachments and 2 cataracts done......🥺
  5. I hope there is someone there to keep an eye on you..............
  6. What was his physical trait...........? 😉
  7. Nope, haven't a clue what you are talking about, is it you trying to be funny and failing........😬
  8. Sorry misspelt, never heard of Narok, so tell me, what are Narok folks trait..😋 PS. I think "R u" is more like illiteracy...🤭
  9. Who on earth is Harry, you keep referring to a Harry.....?
  10. Would you like some of Trumps clips.......😆
  11. No, that is daft...........
  12. I had them removed in one eye, I had it done when repairing a detachment, they remove all the fluid from your eye and replace it with gas, then wait for the gas to be replaced by your body with fluid. Sadly, I had to lay face down for 10 days..😢 I still haven't got a single floater in my right eye after six years..🤗
  13. Start eating pineapple.....🤗
