Eye update
An update on my eye problem. I just returned from the doctor. The retina has reattached itself. It looks like all will heal properly over the next week or so, assuming I continue to be diligent about treatment.
I will probably not resume posting until tomorrow, as today I still have to keep my head positioned a certain way so that the treatment can work properly. (I will explain this all when I can sit in front of the computer for long enough to write something substantial.)
Regardless, thank you to everyone who has wished me well. I appreciate it more than you know.
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Great news, hope it all goes as expected!
Good news. Get better soon!
Glad to hear you’re alright, Bob. Take it easy for a while and heal up. Like the old days – which holiday, which bone?
It appears your body has a mind of its own and wasn’t patient enough to wait for a doctor.
Hope you recovery continues in this fashion.
No, the body healed because of what the doctor did. I will explain in a longer post in the next day or so, as things improve and I can sit and write.
Thank god this problem involved no bones! The problem is something you probably know more about, eyesight. It is improving steadily. By tomorrow I will be able to sit and write again, though not full time. That will wait until next week.
Good news, get well soon!
Glad to hear you will soon have both vision sensors functioning properly for more cave exploration. Get well soon!
Thank you for the good news.
I hope you make a fast and complete recovery.
Take care.
Bob, I FORBID you to go down. That is not allowed (In the Phil-as-King world).
Get well. Stay well
Great. Looking forward to your return to full duty. Stick with your treatment.
Wow – sorry to hear about this problem, but glad things are looking up – no pun intended (seriously!). So belatedly adding my best wishes for a full & swift recovery…
Glad to hear! Take your time and get it right. Any space technology involved in the fix?
Great news. Hope the rest of your recovery goes as smoothly!
