I'm overdue, but the initial diagnosis was made by an ophthalmologist. My family has bad eyes -- in fact, one of my sisters made the cover of a medical magazine many years ago. And, three weeks ago one of my brothers had a detached retina (which responded well to out-patient treatment and won't require surgery), but he's near-sighted (also a risk factor) and I'm not.
And, in other news, I took a (prescription) muscle relaxant last night and managed to get at least some sleep. My back is still sore, but better than yesterday.
