I had my follow up appointment with the opthalmologist today. Everything appears to be progressing well and Z'hadum (my name for the giant floater) is getting smaller and thinner as it is slowly getting absorbed. I've got another follow up scheduled in two months, by which time I hope there is a whole lot less of Z'hadum hanging around.

The problem, of course, is that as the floater gets smaller, it becomes lighter and more mobile, so it spends more time drifting across my field of view. But it's getting better and that's what counts.

It was back to work today. I was supposed to have a follow up with the opthalmologist today, but I called yesterday to have them reschedule it, because I didn't want someone to have to be all up in my face and exposed to the cold that I'm getting close to being over. So I'll see him *next* week.

In the meantime, things are improving in the affected eye. All of the dust has vanished, probably drawn into Z'hadum, which is what I'm calling the big floater. And the big floater is getting smaller, indicating that it's being reabsorbed, which is good.

Unfortunately, as it gets smaller, it also becomes lighter and more mobile, so it is spending less time at the bottom of my eye and out of the way, and more time in the field of view where it is more annoying.

But it looks like progress from this point of view.

I'll see what the doc says next week.
