Rocky Road To Retinal Recovery

Steve Isaacson went back to the UCD Medical Center for the more-radical retinal reattachment surgical procedure I mentioned in the previous post, after it seemed that Steve might be among the 15% of the patients for whom the less-radical procedure fails, but at the last minute, the surgeons changed their minds. The surgeons now diagnose the new shadow Steve was seeing last night as a liquid puddle behind the retina, a common post-surgical phenomenon that can be managed. So, Steve now has eye exercises to make the air bubble injected into his eye on Monday work more-effectively for his recovery, by diminishing the puddle.

If it helps, Steve, we can get an eye aerobics team together. Maybe call on Richard Simmons to officiate....
