Rick Haywood Posted January 18, 2011 #1 Posted January 18, 2011 Just wanted to share this with everyone. Some of you know about all my struggles with my left eye and some don't. It's a long story but I will make it short. While on a trip out west last June I had hemorrhaging in my left eye and a membrane tear inside the eye and lost the sight in it. I have had 3 different surgeries since then with no results. I have been able to see about a total of 3 weeks since June 24th when this happened. We had one more chance to fix it with this last (4th) surgery I had on the 10th of this month. As of this morning (Tuesday the 18th) I can now see. It isn't 20/20 but about 20/70 or so and I can live with that. It is so wonderful to be able to see out of both eyes again. Anyway thanks for listening. Rick

Yammer Dan Posted January 18, 2011 #3 Posted January 18, 2011 We will keep our fingers crossed. And remember it in our prayers!! Or maybe just double up on the prayers would be a better idea! I'll double prayers and keep fingers crossed!!
