Life lessons I learned after my surgery.
Photo by Leonardo Wong on Unsplash It happened so fast. Too fast. I went to work in the morning. Everything was fine. I was laughing with my coworkers. In the afternoon, I had an appointment with my ophthalmologist. I had been so busy and tired for the last month. I had been working so hard. I thought that the black spot that I had been seeing in the corner of my right eye was because I needed some rest. Well, it looked that I needed a surgery ! An urgent one! The very same day! I had retinal detachment. At the age of 28. I was literally shocked! The doctors were saying that I could lose my sight, that they couldn't guarantee that the surgery would be successful and I didn't have any other choice but to do it and to pray it would work out. I still remember myself sitting in the hospital (my first time), alone, not knowing what is going to happen in a few hours and how my life would completely change from now on. It is a pretty scary feeling. The unknown.
