Third time's the charm?

I still have a shadow.

The Doc insists on another pheumatic retinapexy to try to freeze a larger area and catch the leak.

I insist on a better pain blocker because even hearing the freezing machine run quietly in the background is enough to make me tense up, breathe heavy and salivate in the expectation of pain.

This time, I got an injection that blocked the pain really well, but made my eye look like a bloody gummy bear had taken its last breath on the white of my eye.

Back home to Mama.
