It’s been a strange few days. Packrat noticed a “floater” in her vision in her left eye. It was still there the next day, so I took her to the doctor. They said it was a burst blood vessel, and would eventually subside. Then they examined the other eye.
But first, a word from our sponsor!

Turns out her right eye had a torn retina, and needed laser surgery to make sure it didn’t detach. They did the surgery right there in the office, and it only took a few minutes. (Packrat says it seemed like forever.) She’s already driving again, and should be fine to go back to work when school starts.
She says the floater is still annoying, though.
On to top comments!
