fufarawAfter the eye doc called the clinic and detailed the problem and did the referral, I got a call from the clinic's central Seattle office, instructing me to call the local office and book an appointment, which I did, finally, yesterday.
So I should see a surgeon next Wednesday, the 26th, and we'll go from there.
Meanwhile, half the time I'm reading with a gauze patch folded and held in place by my glasses over the eye, because it's too much strain on the right eye trying to focus with the left, the vision in which is definitely occluded.
In more interesting news, the giant floater which I dubbed the "space paramecium" after an alien creation in an episode of TOS, and which seemed more fixed than the other PVD floaters, has become less tethered in place. It retains, more or less, its paramecium shape, and is darkly translucent, speckled with darker mottling. On a good day, I can, by quick eye movements, make it swoop and dive from one side of my vision to the other. It resembles those starling-flock fall migration maneuvers called "murmuration". Endlessly (well, no, not endlessly, but it does relieve the challenged vision tedium) entertaining. Aren't you all envious? Don't you wish *you* had a space paramecium of your very own? No? Well, can't say I blame you.
