That's some scary shit. Beware that black wall closing-in is the word, shit is getting serious.
You're a personal trainer, yeah? After I had cataract surgery and then some laser thing I was told not to lift anything heavy for a while, over 10 pounds I think it was. I suppose when you lift something heavy your eyes kind of naturally bulge, pressure from straining I reckon. I'm sure your doctor would have given you this advice/order if applicable....but you never know, might be good to look into, or at least remain cautious.
When I had the cataracts I didn't realize what it was, in denial or silent acceptance. I thought I was just losing my eyesight....once laid down spades and a club, then declared Flush! Once I finally saw a doctor under wife's orders (i'm hardheaded about going to the doctor) it was quite the moment when doc told me surgery would solve the problem and return my eyesight. Not being able to see well sucks.
Anyway, glad you're okay. Don't be hardheaded like some and do as ordered by your doc.
Thanx man. Yeah, I got my cataracts done, but that was about a year ago. I'll definitely wait until it's safe to lift again after this surgery, too. So, are you saying you had the same thing? Detached retina? If so, then you saw that tunnel getting smaller and smaller. One of the scariest things I've ever experienced, and I've had heart surgery, which didn't scare me at all. Maybe that's because I'd rather be dead than blind, so my attitude towards the heart surgery was "Whatever, I either wake up or I don't". In this case, it's "I'm not going to die, but I might be blind". Sitting in the waiting room, seeing myself go blinder by the second was the most surreal thing I've ever experienced.
