Came here doing research on QM and decided to try out some ideas. I learn to swim best by jumping right in over my head. My style usually doesn’t win me many friends, but I recognize who they are pretty fast, and I learn what works and what doesn’t.
Someone once called me jello with a temper....but I’m more like a toothless old dog, more bark than bite. The tough exterior has helped me in many circumstances.
On the first day as a new kid in high school, I walked up to the biggest, baddest senior there, with all his sheep gathered around him in the parking lot, and slapped him upside his head a hard as I could. Barely had an effect.! He could have crushed my little body with one hand, but instead he laughed so hard he nearly broke a rib. No one ever messed with me because he put the word out -hands off his little buddy, and of course I also gained the reputation of one crazy SOB!
Being retired, I have a lot of time on my hands, and I am interested in learning as much as I can before I become worm food. Right now my interest is GR, QM and AI, but I don’t understand what I know about it!
I have a request, I just returned from the V.A. Hospital. My doctor says I need cataract surgery.
I am having a hard time making a decision on what to do. How would Bayesian probability theorem or decision theory help me make a decision based upon the following information? If you would use this in your decision making process, I am willing to use it in mine. I’m stumped and the doctor’s have given bad advice many times over the years anyways.
There are inherent risks of infection, failure and loss of eyesight. I could have my right eye done right away (it’s ripe) but it could possibly wait a year. However, at that time I will need to have cataract surgery in my left eye as well (couple of weeks apart). I prefer not to have both eyes done at the same time.
An injury in 06 caused a retinal detachment in my right eye. I may be having a retinal detachment in my left eye (I am having flashing lights similar to like b4 my right eye detached). It took a couple of months before the occlusion started last time (after the flashing lights began). An occlusion is like an eclipse of grey. If it makes it all the way accross you are blind. The doctor couldn’t see signs of detachment, but cautions me to get there right away if the occlusion begins. Once occlusion starts, surgery needs to happen within 24-72hours. Success diminishes rapidly after 24 hours.
I am a high risk for retinal detachment because of severe myopia (near-sightedness). The right eye surgery was pneumatic retinoplasty, and so I have increased risk of detachment or other problems with cataract surgery.
I am writing a novel and want to finish it b4 the surgeries because of potentially months downtime, and in case of problems or permanent loss of eyesight in one or more of my eyes.
The Doctor says that it is my chioce to wait up to a year, but that I need to be watchful for signs of my left eye detaching, and I don’t want my right cataract to get too hard, which increases risk of detachment and lowers success rate from cataract surgery.
