Title: Yo!
Post by: dizzie on March 27, 2015, 08:16:46 PM
Some of you may have noticed, some of you have not, anyway. -That i've been absent that is :)


I've been undergoing some minor eye-surgery 3 weeks ago. Hence I haven't been seen anywhere, where typing and reading was/is required. Still have issues reading, so i'll make it fast and simple (TWWSS!).
I can read but not for long, not even with fontsize 72 (Just kidding!) Mom send me a pile of audiobooks to keep me sane (Well, trying anyway!) Anyway, I miss the banter here and there, and will do my best to be back as soon as possible!


- Cheers!

hey dizzie, wishing you a healing and complete recovery!

I actually work for a major eye/ent specialty hospital in the eastern U.S. . If you need any guidance or have any questions as to treatment I have a number of doctors I could pester for you  8)

zbreaker, I appreciate it buddy. But stay in dark, looking at dark things (but not thinking dark things) helps a lot, It's going, but slowly. This is going faster than I anticipated :)


As for reading, I had to flip the colors on my iPad so white became black though. Yes I have an iPad, don't hate!  :o

@ dizzie: I hope you have a full recovery, sorry you are having this difficult time with your sight, I do believe it will all come to pass. I had spinal surgery, a massive blowout of L3-L5 disk, required three separate surgeries over a period of months. They put me on steroids which helped with the healing. I wasn't told it would also grow scar tissue. I lost my sight for a while with fast growing cataracts. I had to have lens replacement on the back side of each eye. My eye sight is better than it ever was, but can't drive at night.  Hang in there. - zephyr
