Please pray for my associate, Fr. Brendan.
What follows is his request sent to the Monastic Life list:
The other day, when I woke up and opened my eyes, I noticed a very
filmy black veil hanging down in the right eye. A couple of blinks,
and the veil went away, resolving itself into a large floater. I
called my PCP, and my eye doctor called me last night, telling me to
get into his office at 7:00 this morning. He dilated my eye, and
told me the floater was a blood clot. The retina seems to be okay.
However, the doctor believes that there is a hemorrhage in the eye,
and he couldn’t see past the clot, so I have to lay at a 30° angle
until next Monday.
There will be a need for laser surgery after that, to cauterize the
bleeder. If muy retina is coming loose, then they will have to operate.
