As pesticide manufacturers have prodded the EPA to change their wording on various warnings for toxic materials, I suppose we should ignore the "POISON" skull and crossbones shown in their MSDS and "assume" Reward/Diquat is safe for many of the living beings in and around this small pond. I did see a great blue heron yesterday attempt to spear a fish. The blue heron got the fish but dropped it. Looked like a pretty good sized bluegill. There are possums which swim in this pond, also. Cats visit it frequently (there is a feral Manx who stops by in the evenings) Geese no longer show up as of about a week ago however many people have dogs in the area who walk this pond (Diquat may cause kidney problems, retinal detachment and cataracts in dogs and rats). It takes a while to damage their internal organs. There were no waterfowl in the pond this morning although two ducks did just fly in. I wish them all the best in their health and well-being. I hope the pond maintenance crew only added a small amount although the pond is now an opaque blue.

Only time will tell how the birds fare as no one else seems to be able to - we euthanize millions of birds every day when they can no longer produce: "Millions of bird deaths as US hit by avian flu outbreak" - www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/09/bird-flu-millions-b...
A rep from Thornton's call center said they do maintain this pond and they will "get in touch" about any concerns with this product. Perhaps they only maintain the water there and not the land surrounding it. I did receive a call back from Cody with Acquatic Control, Inc. and he was confident this product was safe for the habitat as it is approved by the EPA.

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:
I detached a retina in my right eye about three weeks ago.
It was really, really awful.
It just happens to some people after 40… plus I’ve had some trauma in the past.
It started with a torn retina about two months ago, which required laser surgery. That didn’t work. One day a shadow started to fall across my vision. The surgeons performed much more extensive surgery that night.
Here are some fun links that describe it (not for the squeamish):

Aside from the extreme stress of possibly losing my eyesight, the worst part of all this was that I had to lay face down in bed for two weeks so that a gas bubble they placed in my eye could hold the retina in place. That sort of positioning and immobility is NOT good for a healthy back…
Anyway, the good news is that everything is now going exactly right. My eyesight is getting better every day, and the eye is healing nicely. I’ll need a new glasses prescription when all is settled (about 5 more months), and with glasses I should be 20/20.
I have to really credit a great surgeon, plus Mrs. Andertho (for putting up with a grumpy me) and most of all… prayer. It was a very sobering experience, and I think in many ways I’ve grown through it. I’m glad it’s all getting better now though.
This picture is from the day I returned home from the hospital (plus a little Photoshop to give it the requisite sense of unreality that I felt – it was really all red like that IRL though).
I’m not sure I’ll be churning out too many new pics for a little while though…

One week along and the eyeball's looking better. Starting to get areas of white back. There were some pretty sketchy looking areas, especially near my tear ducts- that area looks to be smoothing out a bit.

自分の目の写真～網膜剥離ある。
A shot of the screen w/ multiple shots of my L eye taken from many different angles in order to better assess the Retinal Detachment that was found during my LASIK pre-op checkup today. Figured I wasn't going to have many chances to get pictures of my eye like that, so I asked if I could get a quick shot off. They offered to print one out- I don't need one on my wall... just a digital one to remember the moment. Perhaps a pivotal time in my life, depending on how it turns out.
Noticing more floaters in the right eye than usual, went to the opthamologist today to have him check things out. Well, it seems the old epiclectic has a detached retina, and will be going under the laser-knife tonight. I'm not too concerned, but wanted to give you guys a heads-up if you see me go pirate on you.
Already blind and now getting senile. She was ok at finding her way around by smell, but now she seems too confused to do that. She trapped herself in a corner of our bedroom last night at 3:30am. She looked like she was in bad shape, but we gave her water (using an eyedropper) and she's had a some food today (jarred baby food). She is moving about a bit more, although she peed on me and I had to carry her to use the litter box. She doesn't seem to be suffering. She isn't complaining. I don't know how long I should let her be like this, though.
(After some ups and downs and a gallant fight she died less than a week later, 10/13/08. She had probably had a mini-stroke, maybe due to high blood pressure caused by the declining kidneys.)
Here is an approximation of what I see, now that the bandages have been removed. The large blobs are the gas bubbles that were injected into the eye, which dissolve over time. There is a lot of other crud (technical term) floating around (blood, fluid, etc) which should also disappear with time. Would prefer sooner rather than later. Next appointment is Tuesday.
My sister has recently discovered that she has retinal detachment in both eyes. Her case is so severe that she underwent 2 emergency surgeries and will have to wear a scleral buckle around one eye for the rest of her life. Evidently she's lucky she caught it before she went blind.
Just rediscovered this gem. The day after I got my first surgery for retinal detachment back in September 2009. Little did I know at the time, this was just the beginning...
How much can a person Flickr while enduring the "quality time" that follows eye surgery? Just how bad of a Flickr addict would said person have to be to even try? I'll find out about the first, while trying to remain in denial about the second :^)
There will have to be a few changes...
If I post photos they'll be coming from the archives - my focusing eye is broken. Can't stick a laser and some other hardware in there and expect things to work like they used to.
And new photos will be a few weeks away - everything we do that might inspire a photo is against doctor's orders.
Things will be back to normal soon!
Scleral buckling is a type of eye surgery to correct a detached retina and restore vision. In this video, We explain about Scelar Buckling treatment. The video contains the ways to repair Retinal Detachment.
Foldable Capsular Vitreous Body is the first foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) made from Medical grade biocompatible polymer (FDA registered material) and contains a vitreous-like capsule, drain tube and drain valve. The silicone oil could be injected into the capsule via a drain valve to support the retina and eyeball.

Retinal detachment, a situation where the retina, located at the back of the eye, shift from its normal position. Retinal detachment also leads to separation of retinal cells from the blood vessel layer thus effecting the oxygen supply to the retina. In some cases, totally cutting it down.
