Kim saw the eye doctor this morning & he said that her fall did not cause any permanent damage to her eye. As he suspected, the fall caused some of the bloody fluid in her eye to mix with the bubble (which had been clear). Now, she is looking through murky, bloody fluid & her vision is negatively affected. He says that the hole is still closed and the pressure in her eye is good. There is about 65% of the bubble left. They like the patients to remain face down until it's about 50% remaining. She will see the doctor again next Friday and hopefully she will be cleared to sit up. Woo hoo! She mentioned something about having a party when that happens and celebrating with martinis : )
Needless to say, Kim is extremely relieved that there was no damage. It's annoying that she cannot see better, but the most important thing is that the hole closes properly.
