ArchivesHey...
just thought I'd stop by and pay my respects after a long time gone.
The absence hasn't been entirely voluntary. Starting in early Feb, I rapidly began losing the sight in my right (better) eye. Nothing dramatic, like a motorcycle accident. It just happened.
The doctor diagnosed a detached retina, and said that often these things are readily fixed with a couple hours of surgery. But not always...
After 3 major retinal surgeries over 3 months (including a total of 6 weeks in bed), I'm back at work on a regular basis and able to use the computer for more than 10 minutes at a time. To some extent, I'm also able to use the eye, bloodshot and sinister tho it appears.
Thankfully, it works pretty well for distinguishing light, shapes, and colors. Not very good for deciphering words and recognizing facial features, but this may improve a bit over time. Or not.
Anyway, I'm glad to find BtN so active and just as ornery as ever. Even Her Satanic PMSness is back on a regular basis! I plan to start spending some time here, soon's I wade through the 400 unopened e-mails I still have at work...
Regards,
Da.
