So some reasons I have not been present lately...

Lately I have been dealing with some health issues. It has mostly been my stomach landing me in the ER every 2-3 weeks. Managable at times, so it's been a slow crawl towards stabilizing that.

But then this past weekend, all hell broke loose ABOVE the shoulders... A distortion-turned-blind spot developed in what I call my GOOD eye (right eye blind central vision since birth).

Paniced and went to the Emergency Room, only to discover it was a good thing I went... retina detachments in BOTH EYES!

As it stands, 8 hours from the time this post started I will be going through some surgery to repair the damage. It's not clear what causes it, but it is clear what they have to do. And of all the surgeries I have ever had in my life, including a left-below-knee amputation, THIS one in 8 hours scares me the most.

Please say a prayer that I come out of the operating room with the same thing I went in with.... MY EYESIGHT! (perhaps slightly improved?)

I'll be mapping again soon. I promise you that! Been itching to make a deathmatch or even gmod map.

Good luck, esmajor. I'm sure you'll come out of there a-ok. =)

The people who do these surgeries are trained professionals. You'll be fine.

You've been banged and bruised and got through all of those, you'll do fine this time too :)

You'll be okay. Good luck, not that you or the doctors will need it.

Good luck with the surgery. You'll do fine, champ.

I can't think of anything to say that hasn't already been said, except good luck.

Good luck. No need to panic, you'll be fine.

And if you lose your sight, you won't be reading this. But it'll be a great excuse to start feeling breasts more often.

Good luck and stay calm sir our thoughts are with you. =)

Worst case scenario you go blind, the up side is u get moved up on the list for bionic eyes soon as they come out, which should be quite soon I should think ;)
