My retinas kept tearing. I had, I think, 4 retina reattachment surgeries. At least three, but I think it's 4. I've lost track.

In the process of that I had to see a cardiologist to get cleared for the procedure. Turns out, I have a carotid artery that is completely blocked, and the other one was 90% blocked. Got stented in the one that had an opening. The other one is bye-bye. But, having a carotid that is 90% blocked is, from what I'm told, a pretty precarious situation to be in. Would not have known about it had I not needed to be cleared for surgery.
