Retinal Detachment Surgery Recovery: Now the Doctor says EXCESSIVE HEALING is bad for Surgery

Posted On November 10, 2010

Left Eye (not J's)
How can you not be frustrated with this eye doctor surgeon? First he does several very painful surgeries on my friend J. Then tells J that the problem with his eye is it is NOT HEALING so he pumps a gas bubble in his left eye to keep the lasered portion from peeling. So J calls me up and asks for help with healing. We do EVERYTHING right. J heals unbelievably fast, healing everything and anything all over his body, not just his eye. The eye doctor surgeon monitors his eye and says yes J is now in healing mode. A few days later the same eye doctor surgeon says middle aged J (48) is HEALING TOO FAST LIKE A YOUNG MAN and this is now detrimental to his left eye surgery recovery.

“Bad news from the doctor today. More surgery may be necessary due to the EXCESSIVE HEALING and scar tissue formation.” was the initial text message I received from J before we went into a conversation last night.

The dreaded more invasive procedure involving some oil initially J wanted to avoid is now being suggested by his eye doctor surgeon… because J has OVERSHOT his healing goals? Good grief and loads of frustration with this doctor. What do you want? First you say he isn’t healing, now you say he is OVER HEALING?????????????? Healing too fast like a young man in his 20s???????????? Why can’t the doc just admit that he botched the job, made a mistake instead of telling J you are damned if you DON’T HEAL and damned if you OVER HEAL!!!! How do you heal moderately to his precise specifications???

Time for a 2nd opinion and a 3rd opinion of an eye doctor surgeon!

In meantime J will be stopping the juicing of nutritious fruit and vegetable and just eating them plainly. J is on a rawish paleo diet with raw vegetables, raw fruit and seared beef and raw fish. He also did some egg yolk liver flushing and avocado leaves tea kidney cleansing. And all this allegedly brings on EXCESSIVE HEALING… HEALING TOO FAST LIKE A YOUNG MAN…. unbelievable!
