Decided to take my kids to the big city, go to an amusement park this past weekend. Got on a rollercoaster, one of the turns my head bumped the head restraint sorta hard.

Detatched retina in my right eye for my efforts. 75% vision loss in my right eye. Headed back to the big city for emergency retina surgery because they dont do that sorta stuff in hayseed towns.

FML.

      It fkn sucks comrade. But not so much for not being able to see out my right eye, its the total loss of depth perception.

      I missed my toothbrush totally when trying to apply toothpaste this morning before i went to the small town ER i live near. Ive never had any reason to think about it frankly, and that sucks the most.

      Heres hoping someone can fix this shit show.

    Well... I was recently told that one of my eyes seems to be a prime candidate for a detaching retina. This is a good thing to be reminded of.

    Also... mystery eye patch is very mysterious.

      First sign of floaters, or blurring of vision please see an opthalmologist.

      The longer its left untreated the more severe the vision loss will be, up to and including loss of the eyeball itself.

      Dr says its hard to pin down but ill be lucky if i only end up losing 25% of vision in my right eye.
