Since I disappeared rather abruptly, I think I owe you some explanation . . . 
Friday night I began noticing a "blob" in the lower right quadrant of my left eye field of vision. I presented in the emergency eye clinic Monday morning and was diagnosed with several tears & a retinal detachment, and ordered to stay away from reading and off the computer. Went into surgery Tuesday noon to have it fixed with cryotherapy and a scleral buckle, and then today (Wednesday) at my followup visit with the retinologist, I got the gas bubble to boot, since the detachment was acting like it didn't wanna stay reattached. Trip to the clinic is four hours round trip, so haven't had much time left over.
And take it from me, cataract surgery is small potatoes compared with this . . . I look like I went a coupla rounds with Joe Palooka . . .
