Eye Surgery

After a trip to the eye doctor yesterday, Dad was diagnosed with a detached retina. He has had some blurry vision since getting his new glasses prescription recently. The doctors do not seem to think that this is a result of his cancer or treatment. However, his blood sugar has been a little wacky and high blood sugar can be a cause of detachment.

He had surgery Friday morning to repair his eye. It was a quick, outpatient procedure. The doctors believe the surgery went very well.

Today also marks the end of another week of radiation. He will have the weekend off to rest and recover. And then one more week of treatment before leaving for North Carolina.
