    Unhappy Down and out and blind in one eye

    I've been having eye problems fora bout a month or so now, had surgery on my eye. There was a flap on the cornea that was sticking and tearing every time I blinked. So they removed it...now comes the regeneration period.

    I hate my life.

    I hope you get better soon! Its not far to springtime now as well, so within some weeks the outside should cheer up and maybe that will help to cheer up the inside as well.

    Please get better . . . otherwise the net will be transformed into a speaker box that sounds like the computerized voice of Dr. Hawkings.

    That does suck. Hope you heal quickly. Last year I had a coworker who's retinas both started detaching for no apparent reason; I saw what a pain that was for him so I've got sympathy for you.

    First of all, Get better soon!

    Secondly, what's with all the eye illnesses I'm hearing about. I know we are a visually orientated species (especially the males, my ex tells me), but damn!
