Oh No! I'm glad you were able to find a retina doc ONLY 50 miles away, that is lucky! Mine is in the building across the street from me, but elsewhere they are much harder to come by. I sit in the waiting room listening to people grumble about having driven since 3:00am, only to get there and have to wait 2 hrs to see the doc, and thank my lucky stars that it is so nearby for me.
Is your bubble blue? And did they give you a shot of Avastin in your eye to stop any possible bleeding?
Take care and do everything they told you to do. Were you able to sleep OK? Did they give you a shield to tape over your eye to keep you from scratching it in your sleep?
Keep us updated, please. Good luck!
