Coolerman out for the next bit... again... (1 Viewer)

[Coolerman]

My bad luck with my eyes continues to haunt me.
Some of you may or may not be aware that I have recently had cataract surgery on both eyes. I had some issues with those surgeries, but those are now pretty much resolved. However Sunday morning I woke up, took a shower, and as I was walking out of the bathroom I noticed a large black spot in my left eye. Over the next two hours it grew it until it was covering 25% of my vision. I knew what it was immediately since I went through the same thing in 1999 with my right eye: a detached retina. I called the place that did my surgery last time and they told me to come in to the ER and they would evaluate it to see if I needed immediate surgery. They decide it could wait until Monday. So Monday I had the surgery. Basically I will be blind in that eye for about 7 to 14 days.
I will be able to fill orders but harness work is out of the question. Those that have sent me harnesses for repair I have already contacted.

I'm not going anywhere and as I have posted in the past I hope to go back to full harness building in August/September.

Sorry to hear this Mark I feel your pain, had something that looked a rose color leaf appeared in my left in early June. Lucky for me it just turned to be some of layer in the eye breaking loose and not a detached retina. It has since broken up and just floaters now which the brain is doing a good job ignoring for the most part. My wife retired and able to live most the time at our cabin so life is good. Hopefully being the new home you built your able to enjoy your recovery time. Best wishes and hopefully a quick and full recovery.

praying you have a speedy recovery. My Dad has been going through tx for macular degeneration for a couple of years. I could tell he was very depressed at first, but tx has gone well, and things are stable. Keep up the positive attitude!

Prayers sent your way. Hang in there!

Prayers for you and your health. Take your time and recover fully - don't push yourself to get back to work, they're just wires and trucks, second tier to your health.
