One Week Behind Schedule

We visited Dr. L. yesterday morning. After examining James' eyes, he said, "This is the first time we see deep chamber after the operation. The eye pressure measures 10. You are now at the stage how we expected you to be at a week ago. I can't tell whether the macular hole has closed yet because the gas bubble is blocking my view. The next few weeks will be a boring waiting period to answer two questions:

(1) Is the hole going to close?
(2) Is the retina going to stay attached? (This is the most important reason for having this operation.)"

So, after next Monday's eye examination, we most likely will only have to visit doctor once a week! Thank God we survived the unexpected detour and delay.
