PAV - yes - multiple times - so far received the "it will get better" over and over. Going today again at 1:50. I don't think it is an infection - I think it is inflammation and I needed the steroid drops a bit longer than 4 weeks because problems started the week after I stopped the drops. But, like you, I'm not a doctor.

Makes me a bit crazy when they leave you hanging trying to do the doctor figuring. It happens so often that I'm not surprised anymore. But still. 🤨 I'm 7 1/2 weeks post surgery now. First 4 weeks were amazing - then things started to go south. I've waited long enough for it to "get better."

Today’s - 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇….bunnies ok; proteins not so!

Well you have your chocolate - I'm going for my Laughing Cow jalapeno triangle on a Ryvita :) Cause I'm pure 😂🤣😅

You might have to allow some time to pass between the Wensleydales and the LC, Creamtea or you will probably be sorely disappointed. LC feels like an immense treasure to me because it came from out of the blue and replaced eating … nothing :( No wonder it is so so so delicious :)

"How did it go with the "people processing mill" you were scheduled to visit at 13:50?"

I left in tears. The surgeon yelled at me as he left the examination room and I followed him down the hall yelling my praises for his fine surgical skills and the vision he restored.

It felt terrible. It turned into an ego driven battle. I think he is an extraordinary surgeon. The vision I have in that eye is light years beyond what I had hoped. And very much better than anyone I've spoken to who has had a retinal detachment. I've told him that more times than I can count - and I'm not kidding - I have been over the moon about the surgery.

But my eye is not happy. And even if he says all is okay - my eye is still unhappy. People have asked me "what's wrong with your eye" because it is dark-looking, half closed and leaky (just tears but wet and runny).

Five people close to me, and many I speak with online have had this surgery and not had this situation come up.

I certainly don't think it has anything to do with the surgery per se, nor the surgeon or his ability - but that doesn't mean that there isn't something going on with my eye! And unfortunately his focus is strictly on the idea that he thinks I'm insulting his ability.

He asked me what he needed to do to make me happy. I couldn't answer. By that time I was in the lobby, standing incredulous and somewhat in shock in front of many people, in tears. I'm not an opthamologist or cataract surgeon - I have no idea what is going on or what should be done. That is kinda why I went back to him yesterday. Everything inside my eye looks good. But not so much outside and my vision has dropped from slightly better than 20/20 to 20/60 in the past 3 weeks.

In hindsight I wish I had answered something along the lines of - I would like you to acknowledge the something is happening with my eye and to help it get better - or if there is nothing that can be done - tell me what is happening and why there is nothing to do but wait.

I think I am reacting to stopping the steroid drops cold turkey. This all started 2 or 3 days after that and has just become worse in the 3 weeks since. I asked him if it could be a reaction to stopping the drops - that maybe I need to continue them a bit longer and he didn't/couldn't hear me. He just said my eye had been through surgery and lots of medications and needed time to heal. I get that - but it has been 7 weeks and things are going downhill - after a fantastic recovery and fantastic vision and comfort at the four week mark.

A mystery still to be solved.

Unfortunately I think I will need a new surgeon for the second eye. That relationship/trust is over.

Thank you, Yooly. It was so very unpleasant. Thank goodness it is behind me now. I have lined up another surgeon to see on May 15th. She is a very well rated young surgeon (especially young looking - but not really so young in years :) ) She replaced my long time opthalmologist in Toronto when he retired. But I was hoping to go to someone a bit closer.
I do not mind travelling now :)
I'm sorry my previous surgeon was having a bad day. But. That was enough for me.
After all this - I feel I need to postpone my second surgery for awhile anyway. Let this eye fully heal and get myself and my long-eared companion home from Newfoundland before taking on any new surgical adventures.
I appreciate you for bringing me a dose of Yooly wisdom - I know you are having your own battles at the moment.

”I'm sorry my previous surgeon was having a bad day. But. That was enough for me.”

No no no - that is not having a bad day. He’s a total *kitten*! Move on ❤️

@PAV8888 - Apericube - they look cute! And if take time to unwrap - well … hopefully gobble less?

Don’t tend to do the low fat dairy - specially yogs and creme fraiche - something about the texture I can’t cope with - makes me retch!

@lauriekallis -I agree with everyone too - what a git! Glad you are seeing another bod.

Loads of bunnies here today too - nice weather bringing them out! Large Medveggies with a dollop of olive oil!

A huge bowl of salad for lunch was the limit of the bunnies today. We had homemade pizza for dinner so it didn't leave any calories for fruity snacks.
