Good morning.

Got seven hours sleep which is a total novelty. Hoping the weather is **** so the missus doesn’t want to do anything as I’ve said we can do whatever she wants with this being the break in my four matches in five days run.

No chance of that with me.

Although I do get the house back around mid day.

Then it's a jab I don't want, so will probably feel like **** after this one, just to kick me in the bollocks.

Yeah, put some wire through it just over 3 years ago. Detached my retina and caused internal bleeding in the eye so they couldn't see to operate.
My eye surgeon at the time wanted to save the eye but he died of a heart attack and my new surgeon reckons since the eye is causing issues to remove it and replace with a prosthetic eye.

Is that what you want mate, it removed?

If the previous surgeon was prepared to try and save it, I don't see why the new surgeon can't. No disrespect to the medical team, but it takes time to think about these things, and surgeons sometimes get into a routine of expectation, ocassions occur where that needs to be challenged.

Feel for you mate, our sight is so precious.
3 years next Feb, both my retinas decided to detach on the same day, they managed to repair the left one with laser surgery but the right one the tear was too big, so it was a full vitrectomy, 3 +1/2 hours in surgery, they got it to hold but sight was poor 3 months later it detached from the bottom up so another 3 hours, it attached again but again sight was blurry, to round it off, the macula then developed a hole, so another 3 operations later the eye is ****ed I can see light and very blurred mis-shaped things, can't view the TV or owt with it Every morning I wake, I open the left eye first and thank whoever that all is good but how long that will last, I don't know.

Yes mate, it's a right pain in the arse. The eye is scarred and it's shrinking and going soft.
I'm never getting sight back and the eye will only deteriorate over time.
My previous surgeon was an eternal optimist and I think was banking on some sort of stem cell technology that could re grow the retina.
In reality, that ain't happening, not in my lifetime anyway.
