had cataract surgery June 6, then complications

[Marthe48]

8. The visit today was a retinal specialist

I went to this office after the dr. who performed cataract surgery(to be clear the dr. who did the cataract surgery is the dr. who diagnosed the retinal bleed in 2000, and knew my history, but didn't mention increased risks to me before the cataract surgery) The retinal specialist who saw me initially said 'there is so much going on with that eye-myopia, something I didn't catch, something else. He said since my sister was being treated for macular degeneration, he'd diagnose me with that.' And in answer to my question, he said, 'If the cataract surgery caused the bleed, it would be very rare.' In the pile of papers I got from the cataract staff, the first warning was retinal bleeding if there was a history. I got the surgery paperwork in April, and I was either so tired or so busy the whole time, I glanced, but didn't read through. Close to surgery, I read about the eyedrops and pre-op ins. I helped 4 people through their cataract surgeries and I assumed I'd have the same good result.
I do the last drop tomorrow, then stop. I just wanted to see if not having a drop today would prevent the profound pain I felt last month. No talk about tapering, just a drop a day, 30 days,then stop. No one mentioned that my eye pressure was high. Thank you for your comforting text. I came over to let my grand dog out, and she is always good company.
