Crooked white line (flickering) after retinal detachment surgery

I had retinal detachment (right eye) surgery 39 days ago...The doctor used a gas bubble and medical glue on me....

almost two weeks after my RD surgery... i started seeing the same light flashes (circular in motion) i saw before the surgery.  I went to see the doctor and he did an ultrasound (there was still blood in the eye so he cldnt really see the retina).  after the ultrasound, the doc said my retina looked good.  at the same time i saw the flashes, I also started seeing this crooked white line/light that flickers as I moved my head (side to side) in bed at night ...but i was more worried about the light flashes....so i forgot to mention the white crooked line/light to the doc bec he said that my retina looked good after this ultrasounf and that he was able to see the retina after over 2 weeks and said that my retina looked good.

I didnt see the crooked white line/light for a while....but started seeing them again 2 weeks ago and didnt think much of it since he saw my retina already and said that it was good.

I saw my doctor earlier today (39 days after my surgery), had questions written out to ask him.  He ccldnt quite see the retina again so he did another ultrasound.  I told him that I started seeing some floaters on top of my right eye...which I also saw before my surgery.  I asked him if this could be because I was starting to see and that this is also one of those things where sometimes the symtoms (symptoms) before the surgery still persists even after the surgery....he said that the floaters were actually blood...

After this ultrasound today, he said that the retina looks good but that he is concerned about the blood still in my eye...that there was still much blood (after 39 days) and that he cldnt see behind the retina to know if it is really ok or that if there are any retinal tears....so he asked me to come back in a week.  I told him i had questions but he said he has lots of patients still that he will just call me the next day to answer all these questions....I tried to tell him about the white crooked line/light at this point...but he was already on to the next room/patient...he did this before and called me the next day after my surgery bec I said I had some questions then too...

My question is:
-waht could be this white crooked line/light that i see at night be...i see it during the day too but it doesnt look like a line...it just a faint flicker of light?
-could this be the bubble?  but i think the bubble is the big dark dot now that i see in my eyeball...  
-could this crooked white line/light that i see flickering at night be what is blocking my vision still...bec the doc said that i will start seeing in about 7 weeks and it's already been over five weeks (39 days to be exact) and it could be breaking down so I could start seeing?
-or could this be worse...like a hole in my retina?  but it doesnt look like the same light flashes I saw when i first had my tear before the surgery......i saw the flashes when i roll (circle) my eyeballs a bit......i did try to roll my eyes to see if they were the same symptom and i dont see it when i roll my eyes...i actuallly see this crooked/white line/light when i move my eye side to side...

PLEASE HELP...really worried.....i wish i insisted on him listening to me explain more....but he ran out so fast that all i could do now is wait for his call...

Thanks in advance for your answers...i would really appreciate it....
