Eye of the Storm

栃木県宇都宮市原眼科

網膜剥離手術後

 

So I had to take a peek. Figured they'd have hissy fits if they knew. Got lucky as I just got the patch down and was geotagging the shot when cute nurse #1 came in w/ my medicine. Close, but safe! :D

Have to say, it looks nasty. Wonder what it'll feel like when the anaesthetic wears off... my AAaaarrrs might not be very pirate-y.

 

UL'd via cell.

 

Update: When the anesthetic wore off, it hurt quite a bit. Pain pills took about 3-4 hrs to finally have any effect. I kind of wonder if they were worthless and the pain subsided on its own. Either way, it was *Not Fun.*

 

Oh, for anyone joining late and not having seen the leadup shots, this is the result of Retinal Detachment surgery. If you want to see what it takes to make an eyeball look like this, just search YouTube.com for "retinal detachment." Not for the weak at heart.

 

Update:

One week later
