Very Dissapointing for Me.....

Marty, I know all too well how scary vision problems are, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily.

"Mi shebeirach imoteinu
M'kor habracha l'avoteinu"
 
Thanks guys!

I am just sitting here waiting on the ambulette to come get me. This is the worst part --- the stress before the storm!
 
Best wishes for a speedy recovery marty.

I had elective eye surgeries a few years ago, something I had been praying for medical science to come up with for decades. I was very much looking forward to it. When it came down to that first surgical morning, laying prepped for surgery on the stretcher, I was still scared sheetless. All I can say is:

May the inventors and manufacturers of the drug Versed be forever blessed.
 
Sorry to hear of your difficulties. Wishing you the best in health, and happiness, and praying for God's Kingdom to come, where 'No resident will say 'I am sick'.' - Isaiah 33:24. See also Revelation 21: 3,4.

Marauderbug still around? She doesn't post anymore.

She's around -- she just doesn't post. For some reason, she hates my cars!! :P

It was a very rough day. The surgery was very long (2 hours) and the initial news was not great. My retina is in rough shape. The doctor said that if this surgery doesn't work, we will only get one more chance and that each time he goes inside my eye, the chances for better vision get slimmer.

I came home this evening and took pain killers because my head felt like it was in a vice. On top of that I had severe nausea (a common side effect from the procedure he was using). So now I am flight restricted again.

I will not lie, I am starting to get very depressed.

And, if you are wondering what I am doing up, the answer is I can't sleep!

I keep praying for better results and I ask you guys to as well.
 
Marty, I will step up my efforts with the Big Guy. I don't know how my account stands with him, but whatever good that I have, it's yours.
 
Don't give up

We will certainly crank up the prayer effort in these parts. I'm very concerned that the depression you are starting to feel could turn into a self fulfilling prophecy. I can’t imagine what you are feeling but certainly empathize with the horrible year you’ve had with this issue and Stan’s passing (Hell, who knows what else might be out there you didn't share).
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p>
I hate bumper sticker advice but believe the following:<o:p></o:p>
“One chance is better than no chance” and “It ain’t over until it’s over”. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Ocular surgery techniques are one of the fastest evolving areas of medicine and what might seem like a last chance is just a pause while the technology catches up with your needs. That’s the worst case scenario, Marty- the best case is that although the initial results are less than ideal that your body repairs itself. Everybody heals at a different rate and result. It’s not all science.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
So what should be on tap for today? Get your Dr. to call in a script for some Phenigrin for the nausea (no known painkiller interactions) and tell Marauderbug she’d better learn to love these cars- she might be doing your short term driving.<o:p></o:p>
