My bad eye (cataract one) seemed to have a blurred blackish intrusion in my usual blur over the weekend so I was a bit worried about a detached retina in that one now, so I went to the eye doc yesterday. He was on hols, but the locum was a lady who also works for my eye specialist. She freaked out when she saw my cataract as it's so, how would you say ...... large. The fact that it was also white instead of the standard yellow also had her shocked. (She hadn't seen a white one since she left South Africa some time back). Anyhow she couldn't see past the cataract, so, she felt it best for me to see my specialist. She got me in pronto at 3:30 this arvo. My specialist took about 1 minute to confirm that yes it's detached ....... so I'm off to Sydney Eye Hospital ...... pronto. I'm apparently getting operated on tomorrow afternoon so I have to get there early tomorrow morning. Fortunately the train from Taree will get me there around 7:00am.

So you will have the pleasure of my absence for a few days .... egad people will be able to post stuff without my rot.

Thanks Guys, the train leaves at 1:30 so I'm running around like a headless chook at the moment getting stuff organised.

Best wishes.
There is some experience in our family with similar problems -and probably has a genetic basis.
I have to have regular eye checks because of high probability of having a similar problem.

PS. Eye problems do not preclude posting bad (and sometimes very good) puns.
