Back Again.

I'm back to "normality" again, after an enforced few days absence caused by a detached retina that needed some pretty speedy attention! How vulnerable we are to all these faults and glitches that occur in our bodies. One thing that stays with me after this latest episode is how well our much maligned NHS copes with and comforts us, when these vulnerabilities are exposed. I was processed through the system with efficiency, care and understanding by people who were kind and concerned about my sight. That was very reassuring. I now have a gas bubble in my right eye that - when I hold my head in a certain position - floats up and preses the retina into place, where it should be! I have to do this often,each day. It will be eventually replaced, naturally, by fluid and become a normal eye again! At the moment it is like looking through a bowl full of water! Moral of all this? Don't take eyes for granted. Look after them.
