I was actually hoping that I'd get the bike this week.  After (additional) weeks in storage, it was back at the shop.  But the bike was off the lift and the tranny was on the bench.  Don said it wasn't shifting right into 3rd and was messing with the shift fork.  Went back yesterday, his eyes were dilated from retina tear.  Said he had trouble seeing when working on my bike.  He had previously ripped his bicep working on my bike a few months ago.... 

not my fault.

The retina is VERY important ! He needs to get that addressed immediately !

I've had recent experience with a detached retina with my wife. We were on holidays and it happened to her. She was on the operating table within 3 hours to save her sight in the right eye. Then a cancelled flight back home for us and a 2000klm drive back home at sea level.

I had a detached retina also. it started out as a black sunrise and as the sun rose I got concerned . Went to a Doc in Paducah and he treated it like a drive-thru . Perfect job and a good recovery.  

My S-I-L had a detached retina and has had LOTS of problems.

He had gone to the eye doc, that's why he was dilated. 

I personally had a retina tear several years ago that followed an ocular vein occlusion a month earlier (starburst).  Not a pleasant thing, I have a permanent "floater" from the tear that can be an annoyance.  

Actually, we spent most of the discussion talking about vision issues, rather than my bike.  I just recently had cataract lens surgery in the same eye with some complications just hours after my surgery.   Tremendous pressure that required "burping" (i.e., opening the incision and dripping the fluid- yep, really).  The resulting eye drops made me quite weak, preventing my usual work outs.  Pressure was normal after a couple of weeks.  My vision is still changing after a couple months and very sensitive to light now.   I hope to get my final prescription checked in a few weeks, this after a couple of interim changed to my glasses.  Sorry- more info that was required.....

The entire time this doctor was performing his operation all I could think about was an event that took place in the movie Fire In The Sky.

Yeah, it does. I was told not to get new glasses for at least 8 weeks. Still haven't got them a year and a half later. I need to get on to that, as using the cheap reading glasses from the drug store is a pain. I'm glad I waited, though. I reckon my brain was still sorting itself out even after 4 months or so.

In my case I had no choice wearing glasses.  Lens Crafters has a warranty allowing for free changes for 90 days or so.  But I couldn't drive.  I'm about 20/40 and double vision  without correction .... Not sure what I was before.
