Good news for now!

Thanks, you guys, for your nice comments.

I spent some time at the doctor, who told me that the retina has not detached (yay!) . . . yet (boo!).  Actually, I'll probably be fine.  Most people get "floaters" and "flashes" as they age.  AGING!  WHAT AN ADVENTURE!  I just have an extreme case of it.  However, the onset was a little dramatic.  Also, he said, people who have had cataract surgery and who are as near-sighted as I am have a twenty times greater chance of having the retina issue, so we are in observation mode for now.

Too bad you can't use the flashes to shoot down the floaters. Then you'd have, like, a video game going on in your head. How cool would that be?! Glad you're still binocular.

Well, if you do become blind in one eye, you can get an eye patch. You'd make a really great pirate.
