Fishmoon I think I would have had an excellent outcome had my eye not bled in from the surface of my eye on cannula removal and/or perhaps afterward leaking into my incision. I think my surgeon took a very aggressive approach to my eye and I would venture to say that the cannula that caused the bleeding was the one where the cutter/aspirator was inserted. I think a stitch to close the incision may have prevented after-closure blood leakage into the wound. The question that will probably never be answered is when the blood leakage occurred, as the cannula was removed, afterwards or a little of both. I don't think any video was done during the surgery. At any rate stitches would have probably been a good preventative call in my case. Now I will just wait and see if my eye can clear it out. If not, I will wait to get an all clear from the surgeon and call Dr. Sipperley for a consult and possible second FOV to clean out the blood. A second aspiration with kenalog would be a quick procedure since no vitreous would need removing and hopefully I would not bleed in again since he would not need to be very aggressive. And perhaps he would consider putting in a suture at that incision point due to my previous history of bleeding in.

Hopefully my advanced planning will not need to be executed, but those are my thoughts for now. I am pissed off because my surgeon is lying to me and I feel betrayed. But I understand they need to cover themselves. I have decided that I will not see him for the remainder of my follow ups. I will see another surgeon in the practice that I saw originally.

On a positive note, the blood clump is heavy so it stays for the most part at the bottom of my eye out of my central vision. With the floaters gone out of this eye it should be much easier to work at the computer. I am going to try and put in a good half day of work today and see how it goes. In the end I think I will be saying that a blood clump and some blood specks are better than a mass of collagen floaters.
