~So, symptomology strongly indicates at least a partial retinal detachment. I'm suspecting that Rural Health will refer me to a hospital with actual ophthalmology department, probably their sponsoring facility Tehachapi Hospital. *sigh

"The flashing lights are caused by the vitreous gel pulling on the retina or a looseness of the vitreous, which allows the vitreous gel to bump against the retina. The lights are often described as resembling brief lightning streaks in the outside edges (periphery) of the eye. The floaters are caused by condensations (small solidifications) in the vitreous gel and frequently are described by patients as spots, strands, or little flies."

Very strange. I always thought the flashing lights were tiny little flying saucers feeding off my stray thoughts.

I am so glad you guys are out of there. Regroup, heal and then sue the fucking shit out of that cunt.

If it turns out to be a detached retina, get some feedback about the surgeon before you have it fixed. My mom had a bit of an ordeal with hers - it turned out fine, no worries, but a whole lotta new bullshit is nothing that you need.
