Week 6 Stocking Update And An Eye Issue

I did make progress but not a lot. But some is better then none. 



Can you see the progress? Obviously the word Him is the most noticeable. But there are more leaves on the top trees and the third Wise Man's body is done. 

I did a lot of birthday celebrating. And I also hit some hiccups. 


My magnifying glass that clips on my floor light's pole broke. I do have it taped for now. I might buy a new one if I can find one.

The other hiccup is a little bigger.


This is my left eyeball. On Monday evening I felt a feeling of a falling film over my eyeball. Tuesday during the day I felt my vision wasn't as clear as it could be. But nothing super strange. 
Tuesday evening I was out with friends and after dinner while my friend was driving I noticed a bar of lights in front of my eyes. 
Obviously not normal.

So, Wednesday morning I called my eye doctor's office and was seen.  The doctor who examined my eye took this picture with his phone and sent it to me to explain what happened. 
The white arch is the top of my implanted lens from about 2009. 
It has slipped it's mooring. It does happen but it is not common. 
Of course, if it different or uncommon I would do it or have it. 
The shape of the arch is the same shape of the bar of light I see when I look only with my left eye, only flipped over. 
I have to see the retinal specialist who will replace my lens or reattach the loose side. I don't see him until March 19th and then they will schedule surgery. Until then, I am not to bend over or pick up heavy items. And I will have this crazy double blurry vision which will slow down my stitching efforts. 
The good news is the pressure in my left eye is normal after my laser surgery 6 months ago for Glaucoma and my retina from my detached retina is still attached.

But I will continue on.
