Default Ron Davidson Update

Hello everyone. As many of you know I had to go down to the eye specialist Monday to see what they could do about my eyesight. Well yesterday afternoon they did a laser procedure to stop the bleeding around the retina and were sucessfull. They then injected steriods into the eye and something else to try and flush the inner eye. Had quite the headache this am but feel better know must be the 1000gm loritabs every 4 hours. Anyway they thought this would stop the problem and think there is a good chance of a little vision restored. They don't expect I would have anymore than before but I will take what I can get. It will be about 2-3 weeks before I should expect to see anything as far as light. So until then I have to keep it covered. I thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers they were greatly appreciated. I can still carve nothing wrong with my hands. I will try and post picttures of what I am working on tomorrow.
Ron

Ron,
that is fantastic news I am really please for you. Please keep us posted we care a whole lot about you and how things are going for you. I know that your computer reads these messages for you so I didnt put it in big text. Let us know when you can see again I understand it will be a couple of weeks, when you can I will go back to the larger text. Keep in there my friend no matter what you are always in our prayers.
Colin

Colin and all there is no longer a need to put text in large print for me. The software I use reads it all for me anyway. I also don't have to type very often I just tell it what I want to say and most of the time it works pretty well. I didn't try and dictate to it yesterday because I sounded like Otis the drunk from the loritabs. It could have been for some interesting conversation though or a good laugh.
Ron

Ron,

I am courious what excatly is the cause of your eyes doing what they are doing? It sounds almost like diebetic problems , but I am not sure you ever told us. And if you did I appologize for my forgetfullness.

I am glad to hear you have a possible chance mate , I will say a few extra prayers for you mate and keep my fingers crossed.

Garry
