Very happy that #Lúthien doesn't seem to be in pain after her massive #surgery on tuesday, see this post (in #Dutch).

She's very unhappy if I put her into the cage, but I have to: if she exerts too much force on her hind leg, chances are the whole construction will break. That would mean the entire leg will have to be amputated.

So I let her out as much as I can. I abandoned the desktop PC I use for work, because that's on the second floor. I work on my laptop now, in the living room. She loves to be with me.

The #crowdfund I started to pay the huge #vet bill is here:

In #Dutch, yes, but you know how to translate that, right..?

Surgery to correct a detached retina happened two days ago. (Fast medical response!)

I've been working hard to heal as fast as I can.

Surgeon tells me to keep my head down as much as possible, so I arrange pillows to sleep or nap on my stomach without pressing on my eye.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina

At the 24-hour post-op checkup, the surgeon only had to glance briefly inside my eye before he said everything looked good and said I could go go home...come back in a week for another checkup.

The surgery was performed in El Paso, and a gas bubble was deliberately left in my eye. My home in the mountains is at high elevation. Until that bubble disappears, I have to convalesce in the Tularosa Basin.

A day before surgery, my peripheral vision loss was a small black cloud. A day after surgery it was a light gray cloud. This morning, it's hard to notice the vision degradation in that area. This is encouraging progress.

After retinal detachment corrective surgery, the patient should keep their face pointed downwards as much as possible.
The surgeon intentionally put a gas bubble in my eye. Until that bubble is absorbed, I will wear this warning band. Also, I can't travel to high elevation until the bubble is gone.

Hip update…

...kind of... 😇 I start writing this post 5 days before the scheduled call from the surgeon. I got the puncture done 8 days ago. And the surgeon will call me in 5 days (as I write this). Unfortunately... It's a 15:00 call, so I'll have the whole day to be anxious about it. As I'm already anxious about it now. I mean, I know I need a surgery. I know that hip bowl (or is it a cup?) needs to be placed in the right position again. So my leg can stop "wobbling", so it can stop tingling, […]

This image showcases a creative blend of medical imagery and artistic design. The centerpiece is an X-ray of a hip joint featuring a hip replacement, presenting clear medical details such as the prosthetic joint and surrounding bones. Overlaid on the X-ray is a vibrant gradient of colors, transitioning seamlessly from warmer tones like orange and pink to cooler shades like green and blue, giving the image an artistic flair. At the bottom right corner of the image, the date “07-09-2021” is prominently displayed in purple text, flanked on each side by small heart symbols. The combination of clinical precision and colorful overlay creates an intriguing visual juxtaposition, transforming a routine medical image into a unique and expressive work of art.
