A fairly innocuous photo of mine and my friend's bikes, when I met at a local gas station for the first evening ride of Spring. Later that day the retina in my left eye would detach, causing a pretty serious loss of vision which dogs me to this day.

@sullybiker That's so sad. Vision is one of the most important things life, imo.

@SeventhMagpie Yes. Unfortunately this was just the beginning.

@sullybiker How bad is it? Can you see with that eye?

@SeventhMagpie The central vision is completely blurry, but I have good peripheral vision in it. Unfortunately I developed CAR (cancer associated retinopathy) in both eyes later that year, so I have damage on the right side too.

@SeventhMagpie This is where retinal cells are genetically similar to cancerous cells, and an autoimmune response causes antibodies to attack healthy cells which unfortunately happen to be in my eyes
