For the first time since 2009, I’m forced to take a break from sharing what I’m up to, my musings, and Mahoosuc Mills news. Over the weekend, I gradually lost the sight in my right eye. It was wicked scary!
Turns out, I have a detached retina and have to have emergency surgery tomorrow morning. The surgery doesn’t take that long. But the recovery does. Get this: I have to be face down for a week. I can walk around, as long as the back of my head is toward the ceiling. Cute! I have to sleep on my side or stomach. The second week, I get to sit up for short periods at a time. Wahoo!
The success rate for the procedure is really good. And everyone I’ve told about this seems to know someone who’s had it and has bounced right back, good as new. Fingers crossed.
For a busy bee like me, the thought of doing nothing for at least two weeks makes me anxious. I’m sure I’ll learn something about myself in the process, right? Another friggin’ growth opportunity, as my cousin Mikey says.
That’s it for now. Catch you on the flip side!
