Thanks y'all - I need the encouragement. I suppose this means eye surgery #11. I'm hoping that instead of an operation, that maybe it is small and they can put a shot into the eyeball. The stuff they use, avastin, sort of sticks to the blood and makes it settle into the back of the eye, where it can maybe be re-absorbed. It also sort of kills off the offending bleeding artery in there.

This sort of flies in the face of the common sense rule to keep pointy things out of your eye.

I'm just very depressed to be doing all of this again.
