    Now for the update. It seems things did not go great. There was some minor bleeding that got into the eye. That will slow the healing process.

    To make things worse now it seems the lens they put in my eye 10 years ago has become detached and is floating around inside my eye. That will have to be re attacheed after my eye heals from this process.

    I have been out of work for 3 weeks and it looks like it will be another 3-6 weeks at least until I can go back if I am lucky.

    I cant drive until it's healed; that sucks... I cant work out utnil it is healed; that REALLY sucks. I will do isometrics starting soon but for now nothing. I dont want to chance it coming loose again.

    Now to add insult to injury; my moms birthday it today, 86 and has been very healthy until the last couple of weeks where she has had stomach issues.

    Turns out it's advanced Pancreatic cancer so she wont be with us much longer. Nice Birthday and Christmas present. It's not like there is ever a good time to find out something like that but??? At least I am not working and I can find a way to be around more to take care of what needs done.

    OK enough venting for now. Hopefully I can be back at it in a month or two. Thank god for muscle memory and it's winter...

    Sorry to hear about all of that. I wish you luck with your eye bother. Sounds like you have had alot of issues already with it that you have gotten through so maybe this is just a bump in the road for you. What have the doctors said about chance of recovery and how much you can expect to recover sight wise?

    Horrible news about your mom. God works in mysterious ways and with you being out of work at least it will give you the opportunity to spend as much time with her as you can. Im lucky to have both my parents still so I dont know what its like to lose one, I can only imagine. Stay strong man.

    Man I was gonna whine a little about my sh!tt ass day yesterday until I read your thread..I am sorry to hear of your mother diagnosis,I lost a grandparent from both sides of the family to Pancreatic cancer.Not that it compares to losing your Mom,but count it a blessing that you are able to be near her now and offer her the love and support she will need.Best of luck with your recovery and my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
