Vacation did not go as planned. I flew to France to go hiking, but suffered a detached retina on the flight over. Got a good diagnosis as soon as I landed, then flew back home and had surgery.

Today's one week post-op, I'm still functionally blind in my left eye, but nost of my restrictions are gone, and it should get better as the gas bubble dissipates.

On the plus side, this sudden change of plans required me to reach out to friends for help, which isn't something I do a lot, and they came through with all the help I needed, which is a good reminder that, for lack of a better word, I am loved.
