Before the eye drops...

...I could clearly see this tiny cobweb glinting in the sun. Now everything is a blur...

My turn to be in the wars. Cancelled my morning walk with a friend, drafted in a friend of mum’s to sit with Dad, and got a lift from another friend to the doc for an emergency appointment - crippling pain caused by stress, pain killers prescribed, follow up appointment next week.

Phoned optician, described problem with my eye, wanted to see me immediately, drafted in another friend to sit with dad - posterior vitreous detachment, symptoms exacerbated by extreme fatigue. If symptoms get worse have to go straight to Bristol eye hospital, could be detached retina.

Thank you.
