Mike's follow up And Me too

Early this afternoon Mike had a post op appointment with his eye surgeon. One of the first thing that they did was check his vision, which ,even with the scar tissue that he has from past eye surgery, was so much better than I have ever known him to have in this eye. Then the surgeon came into the room and checked with his high tech instruments ( which my bill probably has paid for a couple times over now :-) and told us that he looked very well, gave us signs ( of infection ) to look for, and sent us on our way. On the way out, we had the lens removed from Mike's glasses for the time being until they will make him new ones (in about a month when all healing is complete ) Thanks be to God, the surgery seems to be a sucess !
Tomorrow My Mom has a consultation for the same surgery, prayers that she does as well as well as prayers for both of their continued healing are much appreciated !


Thank you all who have asked how I am doing. Praise God, my swelling is almost 90% gone ! I am even back on regular foods, just not really crispy, hard , or spicy foods. I even ate a couple Lumpia rolls ( sort of like traditional egg rolls )That my Mother in law made for us ( Thank you Linda, they were very good !) I just had to make sure not to fry mine any more than absolutally necessary and then let them set for a few minutes. They sure were appreciated ! Anyway, my complications seem to be be doing better. Even the huge bruises in my hands and on my arms are starting to fade some and itch ( Mom always said that itching was a sure sign of healing) I do go back to the doctor in two weeks so we will see where that leades us, but for now all seems fine.

In closing I would like to say thank you a million times over for the prayers ! I know that i have been asking for a lot and you guys have not turned me down which I am so greatful for. Thank you all !
