I can barely see. My exam and tests last thursday showed a retinal tear. The fall right after caused me to reschedule repair to today. In that time, it detached. I had the gas bubbles injected into my eyeball (i know, always looking for a good time), and must keep my head down as low as possible with a tilt. The bubbles apply pressure to the detached pieee, hopefully enough to allow the laser to fuse. If not, full surgery in hospital. I go back tomorrow morning to see if laser repair is possible. Must sleep upright with pillows pushing head down. Even if it works, this will continue for a week. Been a few hours and the bubbles combined into Mickey Mouse's hat.
Chris is getting scoped in the morning.
Carole leaves and all hell breaks loose!
And yep, all cats are neutered except for the two mothers and their kittens.
What a difference a few days can make, huh?
Dammit.

Marly, I don’t even know what to say! Sorry just doesn’t do it. I hope and pray it works out for you. And, for Chris! Please take care of yourself and hang in there! Cherie in WI
Praying the laser repair is possible!!! Prayers for Chris, too.
😲 😬😳 My neck hurts in sympathy just reading about the sleeping position. I would have had to say let's just skip this step and go straight to surgery b/c I know I wouldn't be successful even trying. Sending more prayers for the whole bunch of you....but glad to hear most of the cats are neutered/spayed. ~Robin~
All the best to you!
Prayers for something to go right for you and your family. Terribly sorry that you are going through so much. Glad the kitties are taken care of. Prayers for Chris. Hoping your eye can be taken care of with a minimal of pain, surgery and anything else uncomfortable. Hugs
Oh my goodness Marly: When will it stop for you, I am so sorry you are going through so much.

OUCH! Best of luck with this Marly.
Oh Marly, I am sorry about the retinal tear. I hope you are able to have the laser repair versus the full surgery. Continued prayers for you and for Chris.
Oh No! I hope the bubbles are working. Keeping your head down like that...not fun, and even more pain for you.
It is a bit of good news that all but 2 cats and their kittens are neutered/spayed. I hope they all get done before their hormones kick in!
My dear one, you have really been tested in more ways than one... Hope all the
bubble prep works and that full surgery can be avoided... Prayers for you and Chris. You are entitled to go beyond dammit if you are so moved.
A big big hug to you Marly and sending prayers that all will go well and smoothly for you very soon.🍀💞🍀
Sending prayers for Chris too.
Lots of love, Truus from Holland
Hope all goes well with your eye. When my retina detached they did surgery immediately and a gas bubble was put behind the retina. But I was told no computer,cell phone,or tv at all!!! I was 55 min with my head down and 10 min up for about a good week. Used a lot of audio books. Take care and will be thinking good thoughts for you!!!! Karin
Marly, I hate to hear the news that you are suffering through all these eye issues. I know it’s really hard to follow all the dr’s instructions but please take care of yourself.
Prayers for Chris and hope he gets answers soon. Happy to hear almost all of the kitties are “fixed” but that still doesn’t help with the smell of the litter boxes permeating the house.
