Don't I wish. My next appointment is on April 25th, and after
that, I'll have to go in the hospital for a vitrectomy. Essentially,
they'll knock me out (I've never been drugged like that before, so
I'm a bit apprehensive about it), and use a microscope to peer
through the pupil of my left eye. They'll insert a needle-like
device, which contains tiny forceps and cutters and all that shit,
and actually cut away the vessels in the eye. Then they'll siphon
out all of the vitreous gel in the eye (as well as all the blood
that's in it, preventing me from seeing through the eye), and replace
it with either a gas bubble or artificial gel, which will later be
replaced by my eyes' own fluid. This procedure is really the last
hope. It won't necessarily improve the vision in that eye, but it's
the only thing that can be done to save it. If it's not taken care
of, the eye will have to be removed, and I'd really rather not have
that happen. I'll be fucked up for at least a month after the
operation. Oh friggin' joy. :/

The PayPal payments you sent awhile ago went through okay. It
wasn't until after I had the money that Thylacine raised for my
behalf deposited into my account that PayPal started giving me a hard
time. I honestly don't know if I'll go back with PayPal, though.
Reckon I'll have to wait and see.
