Holy Shit

Last year I had to have laser surgery on my eye and, earlier, this year I had to under-go another procedure to clean the membrane around the lens. Well, last Saturday night I decied to go to the movies and I start to notice this thing floating in my vision and then there's a lighting flash. Problem is; I'm the only one who saw it. As I was moving my head around I would see flashes of light, if I moved my eyes I would see a flash of light and I was FREAKING OUT. That's the first time I've ever seen anything like that.
I call my Dr on Monday and saw her this morning and she said every thing looked good but still sent me on an emergency consultation. The symtoms I was having could have meant a detatched retinea and that was her worry, not that it was detatched but, possibily, a tear.
I was sure it was just a defective lens.
I go get my eye examined for the detached retinea and learn I don't have one nor a tear. But with the conditons of my left eye, since birth, it's amazing I haven't had more problems earlier, he says. But, because of the symtoms and their sudden onset he wants to check me every 2 weeks for six weeks.
Let me tell you this: I have been in A LOT of pain in my life and I mean a lot. I was run over by a truck, pinned and drug for 50 feet. I was attacked by a rabid dog and a whole hell of a lot more but this examination kicked my ass! I am not bull shitting you: I almost told the doctor to stop, twice, because I was about to wet myself. FUCK!! It hurt. On my way out I asked if anyone ever got a black eye from the examination and I was told yes. Was not hard to believe. Not one bit.
I'm praying it's just age.
