That's a great story KP.

Is the spot you see red or black and moves about?

I can't really make out the color that well, but it only moves if I look further to the right, or I should say it just obstructs more of my vision. I am thinking it might be a partial retinal detachment but I am going to get my eye examined today and hopefully will find out for sure.

Inspiring story, KP. You have an amazing way of "trucking through" whenever a road block comes at you in life. We're all lucky to have you here!

Thanks! In a few days im going to post the treatment for nephrotoxicity caused from cephalosporins if i can find the link. My aunt dies on memorial day due to renal failure. Im wondering if your illness which she had for years was not caused by antibiotic use.
From what i understand they tried to get keflex off the market not sure where this is going to end with the FDA.

Yeah get that checked out.

I was right about the retinal detachment kingpole I had it confirmed by my eye exam yesterday and had a retinal consult today, surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 1:30 pm in a hospital OR but still supposed to be an outpatient procedure. They also want to do laser treatment on my left eye to prevent some weak spots in my left retina from detaching.

The doc said they will use general anesthesia and that's what I am hoping is the case..I don't want to be awake for any of it personally.
