Medical update, eye trauma mention (overall +) 

Laser photocoagulation session #3 complete holy FUCKING SHIT am I glad to be on the other side of that one. We did the entire lattice surrounding the peripheral vision on my right eye, this should have a protective effect against future retina detachments, I even did the local anesthetic injection this time, even so I was shaking for over an hour after getting home partly from the pain, partly because the experience wreaked havoc on my anxiety

@Lobst There are many things in medicine that you're glad you got done, and also that you're glad you *got* done, as opposed to *will get* done
