Two surgeries in less than one month.

Sometime  back in late OctoberI started having trouble seeing and  getting terrible headaches. I told my mom and she made an appointment for me to see my I eye doctor.I went into the appointment just thinking I would need new glasses. The appointment was on November 5th 2014. After doing all the normal things I do for the doctor I heard him tell my mom that he thought my retina in my left eye  was to detached. He wasn't exactly sure so he decided to dilate my eyes so he could look in the back of them to make sure that it was detached . After they put  dilating drops in your  eyes you have to wait 30 minutes for them to actually dilate. Well that 30 minute wait was  probably one of the longest 30 minutes I've ever had to wait! I started to panic because I knew that if it was detached  I would have to have surgery which I did not want to happen. After the 30 minutes was  up we went back and he looked in back of my eye  and found out that indeed my retina was detached . He had another  doctor look to make sure that what was wrong. After  he had another doctor look at it he told me that I needed to go see a retina  specialist that day because I may have to have surgery that night. On my way to the retina specialist office I called my family and friends to tell them that I may have to have surgery  that night. When we got to the retina specialist office they took us rather quickly. To  be honest with you I was hoping that with the other two doctors was not my retina being detached so I would not have to have surgery. He took one look at my eye and knew I would need surgery luckily  I did not have to have surgery that night but I would  have to have it the following Monday. I left the doctors office quite scared! The day of surgery came and I  was very scared because I hadn't had surgery in a very long time! My surgery started at 3:45 PM and ended at 9:15 PM I did not leave the hospital until 1:30 AM needless  to say it was a long day! The next day I went for my one-day postop appointment which is really the same day as I got in the hospital considering I got out at 1:30 in the morning.  Everything  looked good! That same day I started to develop a cough but my mom and I just thought it was because I was under anesthesia for five hours and had a breathing tube down my throat.  A  couple days went by and my cough  didn't get any better and in fact  it got worse so  my mom decided to take me to the emergency room turns out I had pneumonia! My pneumonia wasn't bad enough for me to have to stay in the hospital so they gave me anabiotic's and sent me home I was very happy because the only place I wanted to be was in my own bed. After a few days my pneumonia and eytboth started to get better but then I live  in New York State so I got hit with a big snowstorm in November. I was stuck in my house for five days and I miss my one week postop appointment because I  couldn't get out of my house. I went  the week after I was supposed to and well the doctor was looking at my he just kept looking and looking and looking so mom knew that there was something wrong I didn't think anything  about it turns out now the bottom half of my retina had become detached. The  first time it was the top. That  meant another surgery the following Monday. I was not happy at all. That surgery started at 11:45 AM and ended at 5:15 PM. I don't know what time I get out of the hospital because the surgery was more extensive so I was in a lot more pain and on more pain medication. I really don't remember the next few days after the surgery because of the pain medication I was on. That Friday my mom came to wake me up to see how I was feeling and when I turned over to look at her my eye was bleeding so it freaked her  and me out. She immediately called the doctor and he told  us to come in so  we went in there was  nothing wrong tissue from around my eye was bleeding but not my eye so he sent us home. The following Wednesday I went for my one week postop appointment and finally some good news everything was healing properly!!! I also want back in at the beginning of this month  and everything was still healing the way it should!!!!
