One of Your Age

,

Madam, the good news
is that the retina of
your right eye is in
impeccable condition
for one of your age.
The bad news, I fear,
is that, unfortunately,
there is another stage-four
tear in the retina
of your left eye,
juxtaposed to the
scar tissue from your
surgery of eight months back
which was not present
when we examined you
several months ago.
