Sometimes I think this flip guy is FLipping out on the world-- I mean he just doesn't seem to be reaching goals.

Chad, that big medical word had me scared for a moment as I tried to figure out what it might be. Doesn't sound like any fun at all.

It wasn't as bad as I thought-- He stuck in a needle- sucked out the blood floating around in there- then replaced it with some salty watery eye goo--(With the same needle only 1 hole in the eyeball) OH I was awake and able to see the whole time. I couldn't focus on anything but could see shadows of stuff rooting around in there. It was kinda weird-- I hate the metal "Prop your eye open no matter what " thing they use to open the eyelid though-- hate hate hate it.All and all whatever it takes so I can see right?

maybe someday you will get bionic eyes, that can see better than the rest of us. we will all be poking out our eyes so that we can have some too. (of course they will probably be developed by Amazon, or Google and they will track everything you see, advertise products that you saw at stores all night long, and have pop up adds while you are driving, blocking your view of the road.)

Well I've had cataracts removed, need hearing aids, but still have my own teeth, knees and hips, so still have a ways to go.

I have all OEM parts, except for a tooth cap and some fillings. The warrantee is getting ready to run out on some major components though.

Same here, have never broken a bone or had anything critical "repaired" but I have lost a few back teeth due to not taking care of them. I guess that just means that I've led a fairly dull life, haha!
