So I had gone in for a doctors appointment on Wednesday (which was a follow up to my emergency visit to the ER on Sunday) and the doctor there thought I was doing ok but was a bit worried because my eye pressure was up to 34 (I think it was, it was over 30 at least) and wanted me to come back today for a visit.
Went in today, enjoying the hell out of Zelda on my 3DS till the doctor came in and started pressing on my right eye, guess what? it was over 50 again in pressure which prompted them to do want to do an unscheduled laser operation, well two of them... after both of them were completed it was the worst pain I have EVER had in my life, or at least in recent history. The amount of pain in my head and eye was so bad it felt surreal, about 10-15mins later it lifted and I was just disorientated and sitting there, mostly sobbing to my self.
Some time later the doctor came back in and took a look at my eye was please, what had happened was the hole they punched into the back of my eye somewhere to let fluid drain closed up and since the oil was preventing normal drainage my eye pressure went up, the pressure was still high but he could see the extra fluid so he took a very small syringe and removed it, dropping the pressure from 50 something to 13
Before I was allowed to leave they placed what was called a "band-aid contact lens" because the aberration on the front of my eye had gotten worse, no one is sure why it did other then just a build up of pressure, but the temp lens is there to shield it and hopefully let it heal. I was prescribed extra meds:
Vigamox: an anti-biotic and Lantanopost and was taken off the ointment I was on before (thank god I hated putting that stuff in) I am to come back on Friday next week to see how I am doing and maybe get the lens out if I am healing ok, on the 24th (which is a normal non-emergency visit) they are gonna talk to me about getting that damn oil out of my eye.
Feels sort of like Karma I guess...
Yesterday I asked for help getting a PS3, I figured for once I am just gonna be a bit greedy and ask... I ended up getting an elgato game capture device instead at Bestbuy cause it was on sale and I had rewards certificates built up, had a very fun night streaming a game... feels like I am paying for it today for being so greedy, so I wanted to apologize for the journal and me even asking, I think I at least need to at least do that... if I want a PS3 again I will just have to try and earn the money on my own like a good person.
I don't deserve help like that, I should not have asked...
Anyhoo sorry about the length, it was quite an ordeal, gonna relax next few days because my eye is gonna ache for that long, might get back to art tomorrow, but fow now I am gonna game and probably stream it.
Thanks for reading and please, please if you can, keep on your own health, don't let it go till it is too late... (hugs)

I hope the doctors manage to fix your eyes up. Rest up and take care of yourself.
And I hope so too, as bad as I feel, I think I suffered enough...
Love you Plushie, so much, hope you know that <3
I loves you too.
Seriously though, definitely will keep my being in good form
I haven't noticed any change in the recorded footage, though (see my Boring Bus Tour of GTA4), but when not using the unit, I use an HDMI cord coupler in place of the Elgato (pass-through only works when it has power--I had been powering it with one of the TV's USB ports when I noticed the effect).
I just really love the dang thing, it's small and does not require any external power to use as you know, I wish there was more options in the software you use with ti, but it's very elegant and simple to figure out.
you can be greedy, I don't think it was Karma. Don't feel bad for wanting something, it is natural and human and we all deserve a shiny or two to cheer us up.
Thank you though.
thanks!
thats not very encouraging is it?
anywho i really do hope you get that all settled and ironed out. having vision, even a little bit, is better than not seeing things properly.
Right eye is in question, the oil in it is causing me so much trouble, but it is there to keep my retina in place and hopefully heal it correctly.
If things work out I will see out of both eyes, if not I still have my left eye which is what I am use to anyways.
she got it in 4 seconds and she sends you positive things my good peep.
