Welcome back, Teele! Good to see you back. Just don't overdo it, hanging on the forums can be a strain on the eyes under the best of circumstances.
Well, folks, just wanted to stop and let you know: I'M BACK!!! My appointment went better than I expected. I'm allowed to return in full. Thank you all VERY much for all your prayers and concerns. They were much appreciated I'm still working on getting a blog entry up describing the whole affair. I'll let you know when I get that finished. See you guys around! (Pun intended )
Welcome back. I am relieved that your vision is AOK. That is some pretty wicked stuff you went through. You are in for some good karma now.
