Thanks for the concern!!

I got it looked at by an Opthamologist and he said he saw no permanent damage. I will go back in 4 weeks to make sure nothing have developed.

It was really scary... and it could have been really bad. Thank goodness it was a temporary loss.

Now when I tell the story people find it funny, and I suppose it would have looked funny from the outside. I can laugh at it now since it was admittedly clumsy and I'm fine... Ha!

I have a slightly more details on my workout journal.
