So my youngest daughter is having retinal surgery tomorrow. I'm nervous because I remember doing this with her older brother a few years ago, he didn't fare well and ended up completely blind. I know that there's new technology and we're now in a different state ( don't know if that matters) but thing is, her father my ex is blind, has been blind since her was a child, his oldest son ( mentioned above) had detachments and cataracts ( same as father) and his 3rd child, a son is blind in one eye, same ailment but no surgeries..it was too late when we found out. My daughter is the only girl of his 9 children to be affected by his obviously hereditary disease. I have 3 children with him and I've been keeping up with appointments, which is why we caught my daughter's detachment early. No cataract but I'm so darn nervous, I can't sleep and we have to be up and out by 3am,smh. I'm babbling sorry 😕
