Just got back from the eye surgeon and he tells me I need to take it easy for a few days. I had an unexpected tear in my retina and they hustled me in & took care of me this AM. He did a pneumatic retinopexy (sounds manly to me) and now I just need to heal up.
Get this... my wife asked the Dr, if could have my cigar and he said sure. :tu Just keep the eye covered and I will be able to enjoy one later this PM.
With the eye patch I get to "smoke like a pirate" :=:
Would appreciate any good thoughts from the crew here. Thanks.

say "Aaaarrrrgh" a lot. It's really all in the presentation. 
and as long as we are talking about presentation, you would really be out of character without some rum.
Prayers sent for a speedy recovery. 
And enjoy that smoke. Arrrrrrrrrggggghhhh!!!  :D

My dad had the same thing happen - a partial tear in the retina.  They did the emergency repair and then it fully detached.  He had that repaired too and everything is fine now - I tell you only to warn you to make sure you're careful and get back to the doc ASAP if anything seems funny (other than the fact that you're wearing a patch!).

Wahl shiver me stogies, matey, that's a hole in the hull, fer shore.
Sending lots of positive thoughts your way.  
In the meantime, keep a parrot on your shoulder to complete the 
Smokin Pirate look.  A pair of high boots wouldn't hurt either, y'know. :ss
