So my cataract surgery recovery has been bumpy to say the least. I reacted to the prednisone drops. That caused the interocular pressure to go high and foggy vision. So they got me off all the drops a couple weeks early, no issues after that. I had one light adjustment and was to have another today, but my vision got worse since last week. did a couple unconformable scans to find out I have swelling in the back of my eye. I asked how do they fix that and jokingly said "stick a needle in my eye?". Doc say we yes.

Here are the odds of these happening:
Prednisone reaction 3%
the swelling issue 0.04%

Starting to feel personal. I am told all is fixable and should not be an issue. But as you can see...feel like I am getting the short straw more often than not these days. Gonna drink over it tonight and try to find some peace over the weekend.
 
Man, hang in there. Hate to hear what you're going through. Life sure can throw a curve ball out of the blue, knock the SOB out of the park!
 
Well that sucks Dave. You've had a rough trip these past few years.
Hopefully it doesn't turn into a detached retina.
 
Hope things get squared away for ya.
Golf bud has been having similar issues since his cataract work, had to get back on the drops and things are still foggy for him. Not sure what his next step is.
