Vision update

I began having hemorrhages again the second week of December.  My vision was hazy over the Christmas holiday but not completely "blacked out".  I had an appointment with my retinal specialist yesterday and he could visualize the blood in my eye but could not find the vessel that was bleeding.  He took several pictures of my eye using contrast (angiograms), but just could not find the exact place from where the blood was coming.  He decided to perform laser surgery on my eye in areas that looked vunerable in an attempt to hopefully zap the bleeding vessel.  I left Charleston with instructions to call if I had further bleeding episodes but with the hope that he had successfully burned the bleeding vessel.  Well, at 8pm last night, I had another hemorrhage and can not see out of the left eye very well.  My vision today is similar to having your eye greased with vaseline and trying to see through it.  I will return next week to see my doctor, as he is out of his office today becoming a dad!
