First retinal surgery was more painful.
Apropos of our discussion of mind-brain, as my vision opened in the left eye,
my “brain” had some vertiginous reaction to reconciling the two images given by
each eye, a restlessness and disorientation. My mind observed the effect,
evaluated it as a new processing orientation, and shared this information with
the people around me, in the form of half-objective kvetch and/or plea for
attention.

By the way, I have had a second retinal detachment surgery and am still
recovering, so it’s impossible to keep up with the list’s intense volume. When
eye heals and gas bubble goes away, I’ll get some idea of what’s going on in
the external world or my self-representation of it.

Perhaps this one?
'I shall, in short, argue that pain is not a brain state, in the sense of a
physical-chemical state of the brain (or even the whole nervous system), but
another kind of state entirely. I propose the hypothesis that pain, or the
state of being in pain, is a functional state of a whole organism.' (Putnam,
'The Nature of Mental States')
