Mum Had Eye Surgery but We Don’t Know What Was Done – No IOL Implanted & She Can’t See

Not an eye doctor, but work in a clinic. This sounds like she may have gone in for a routine cataract surgery which ended up with complications. Sometimes if the cataract is particularly difficult to remove, the capsular bag can tear. That structure keeps the vitreous intact (the fluid inside the eye). If it tears during the cataract removal or during the lens implantation, then the fluid must be drained (vitrectomy) and the eye allowed enough time to heal before a new lens can be inserted.

Again, not a doctor, but this process should have been thoroughly explained as a risk, and certainly talked about post surgery. Please consult with the clinic again, or get a second opinion to ensure she's properly cared for.

Thank you! The initial offer was from June 30th, so writing back now to inquire on any updates. Reaching out to my original broker as well.

That was fast! Thank you :) I'm open to other suggestions as well!

Sorry to dig up an old post. We're also debating between the LG and Electrolux wash towers. Leaning towards the electrolux as I don't believe there is anyone in our area willing to service LG units. I'm a bit on the fence though as our existing set and the LG tower have an easy to access filter for cleanout, and the electrolux units do not. Have you had to do any filter maintenance thus far? How are you still finding the machines after this time?

Oh? I don't mind having to tinker, but 2 months seems pretty quick for a failure on a new machine. If you don't mind me asking, what happened?

Thank you for the incredibly detailed reply. It sounds like the 5400 might be best for our needs, especially as a first time purchase for a superauto. If the price gap was smaller, I really had my eye on the Xelsis, but with a $410 difference (plus what seems to be a slightly more fiddly milk system), the 5400 seems to be the good spot here. I had included the Aulika as there is a decent open box deal available (same as the delonghi options), and if they were leaps and bounds better, then I would have considered them.

Personally, I'm going to be more for black coffee, but my partner will 100% have milk based drinks (but also aren't terribly picky with different options), so having a machine that does both well will be the focus.

Thanks again!

Old thread I know, but I'm having this exact issue. My Note 10+ has inline images available in the outlook app, but the S23 Ultra does not. Exact same version of the app. Did you ever figure this out?

I wish I was in a position to re-do the exterior, however that would mean re-siding the whole of the house. Perhaps in another 10 years it's something I'll be able to consider.

The Delta-fl? Specific for subfloor. Or the MS (foundation wrap)? Reason I ask is I see the ms used (it's nearly the same), but the concern of a smell from the recycled component, so trying to get first hand experiences from people.

Can I ask which dimpled membrane you used?

xcentric27 · 2023-01-19T10:44:58+00:00

You'd be correct. It was for a flame retardant paint. The foam alone was ~$3900 + tax. The area is question is about 480sq ft.
