((((Beth)))). How scary. I hope the surgery helps. One of my childhood memories is of my brother's own detached retina. He was only 18, but is horribly myopic. I've been schooled in the risks and warning signs for years. I've had a few scary moments myself thanks to my own horrible eyesight, but thankfully, my retinas are still intact. Now I have to worry about the effect of Graves' Disease on my eyes, along with a host of other vision problems. So, while none of my problems rise to the level of detachment, I do sympathize. Take care of yourself; the bike will be there when you're ready for it.
