Thumbs down New Bleder

Excuse me for any typos. Just got back from seeing The GRunter. He found a new bleeder out on the edge abd wants to zap it asap. He said it'll likely get bad if he doesn't. ****.

AT least there's no neovascularization.

13 zaps, very quick. They hurt, not my eye but my left temple. Left me with a minor headache. He wants to see me in two months for a follow-up.

The worst part is I know I'll wake up every morning looking for signs of bleeding even though it won't likely happen

Ho no, Not you too. As for me I am blind in my right eye but can see very cose up as I have had a CT scan on the eye and the blood has formed a glass onion like wall that I can just see though. So the retena is ok. Now just wonder what the doc is now thinking.
I have not had laser yet and if I get a chance for the eye to clear up then may be some laser to be done. Who knows??
