The injury to the NBA Pro Basketball Suns Forward Amare Stoudemire is not a good one for the simple fact of that matter is, partially detached or totally detached retina’s take time to recover, the reason why I say this is, back in 1999, I was dianosed with a detached retina, had to go thru surgery to attach the retina again and it was not fun at all because I had to take four different sets of eye drops, one of them was a steroid and what makes this even scarier is the fact that I am physically challenged with Cerebral Palsy, I am totally blind in my left eye & totally deaf in my left ear and have been since birth so therefore when I was diagnosed with a detached retina wasn’t fun in fact, I cried big time and was scared for my well being because I thought if they don’t repair this detached retina and reattach it, I was gonna be totally blind here! Not a pretty picture at all. Now after 1999, I had a detached retina in the same eye two more times here so I have been thru hell and back with that and the rest of my health whether it be a body cast from the waist down for a few years after birth plus operations on my left hip and then my femur in 1995 from a head on automobile accident and a broken femur/hip joint connection in 2001, both times I had to lean how to walk all over again and that doesn’t include the time when after I was born I had to learn how to walk when I was 5 and 6 yrs old so basically, the retina being partially detached or totally detached is a scary eye injury and it doesn’t matter if your a pro athlete or not and it will definitely test your resolve with this adversity here.
