I was afraid it might have been as bad as that again. I'm glad it wasn't

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. From:

Date: Tuesday, 8 November, 2011, 19:03By 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. From: lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
