Lou

I almost cried for two reasons reading that. First, the thought of the

eye problems brings tears to mine. I'm the world's worst opthalmology

patient as I blink and close my eyes and can't stand anything coming

toward them. But, second reason, was the good news you got. I'm so

thrilled for you.

I'm sure Earl preaching patience was a little calming, but bet annoying

sometimes too. I couldn't be patient if it was my eyes. Now, ultimately

he turns out right. But its a whole lot easier to be patient when you're

not the one with a patch and blurry vision and all the other problems.

Great that you have what sounds like a knowledgeable and experienced

team. From what I know, most of the time the retinal specialists are the

cream of the crop of the eye surgeons. I know the one my ex-wife went to

was sure regarded in that way.

HEY BRUCE: yes, I almost cried too with happiness. You know, I had

to ask the dr. why he (retinal spec) had to be in the operating room

too and he said because he has to put the retina back in place,

whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahhha

I CERTAINLY HOPE SO, DON'T YOU?

But Bruce, you are totally not alone in your thoughts about folks

gettin' close to your face and eyes. It bugs the heck out of me too,

one wrong move and " ZIP............ " over. hee

Hi there: I have the patch on the left eye, and the right eye still has a lot of dialation so it is blurry.Dr. examined left eye (retinal surg. Dr.) and said the cataract on that is worse than it was 2 months ago. The left eye first had a retinal aneursym, then detached retina, so he operated on me in April. It has a cataract on it that needs to be removed. I go back in 3 months, Nov.25, 2 days before Turkey Day. When they operate on the left eye, (yes, they are going to do it)both Dr. Ladd (retinal specialist) and Dr. Sakowski (cataract specialist) both will be in the operating room as they both will need to do "their thing" during the surgery. I will not be put out as they say.Dr. examined my good eye (right eye) and said the cataract is there but the eye is good and not a "life-changing" emergency to fix that one yet. He said that after the left eye is operated on again, I should be

able to see really really good, just will need new prescriptions again. yipee for that. We were in and out like so fast today. Couldn't believe it. The Dr. said that the distortion in my left eye now and the blurriness in the left eye will disappear after the surgery. I couldn't believe my ears. Earl said on the way to the restaurant for breakfast after the appointment: "See, Honey, I told you to be patient. You will be fine." So I never listen as I should you know.So I feel really blessed today at the dr.s exam and that will make a wonderful Christmas present for me now, won't it, guys???????? ????????? ????????? ????????? ????I LOVE YOU THIS DAY!!MARY LOU - RICHMOND VAIPF = '02
