Hanging in there guys, thanks for asking.

We have an appointment with the retina specialist Monday the 8th so we hope to know a lot more about the road ahead ofter that appointment.

I have been able to work some but I have to take breaks from time to time to deal with headaches.

So all in all I am doing pretty well all things considered.

I will post an update after my next Dr appointment.

Chris

Well a bit of a setback today at the doc's office. I am scheduled for surgery on the 8th to repair some retinal detachment and repair the cataract along with some other things. Sounds like we have a little longer road ahead than we thought...

All in God's timing though.

Chris
