Suffered a detached retina in August, right as I accepted a new job, and right prior to bird season.

Trade you.

Just kidding, I wouldnt wish this on anyone. Prognosis is a bit up in the air, I had the silicone band repair, with freezing the tear, and the gas bubble in the eye.
I can see. Cant read yet, with the repaired eye.

Good luck.

Best,
Ted
