Did you know that retinal detachment can occur spontaneously in the elderly or the very near-sighted?

Spontaneous Retinal Detachment. It could possibly knock Compartmental Syndrome off the top of my chosen Hurt list, just because I like how it sounds.

OH! And I have diagnosed myself with Mostly West Nile Meningitis which, for the sake of simplicity and familiarity, we are calling "Marv."

I actually feel much better, but I know that this is all just a trick, so I don't trust it.

Crap. I just coughed and I swear I saw white spots.

They're supposedly (according to my optometrist) microscopic tears in the retina. I was 23 at the time she told me about it and she gave me about 30 years before they may cause a problem. It's worse for me because I'm nearly blind nearsighted. I think a few once in a while is not the end of the world, but you may want to talk to your eye doctor for information direct from the source.
