    A quick update to let Y'all Know I aint Dead

    Friday the 30th i had cataract removal on
    my left eye.There were some minor complications,
    about 2% of the cataract fell into the eye
    itself .Upon review the retinal surgeon
    suggested waiting to determine if it would
    be an actual problem.So keep praying that
    it will not.I'm still learning to see from that side
    again,it's only been blind just over 3 years.
    But it is improving vastly.I can already see
    better with it than my right eye.Wed I go in
    to have the sutures removed.Funny,my wife hid
    all my shoes though,says I'm not supposed to bend
    over.Anywho,thanks for your prayers and support,
    And Merry Christmas !

    Good to hear you ain't daiud.
    Ur prolly not allowed to smoke either.
    Guess I should pray you don't go stir crazy from nicotine withdrawal
    ... oh and that your eye heals up properly too
    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    Good to see your name in a post Mr. Matthew !
    Hope the docs get it sorted out for you and PDQ. Sounds nasty and my eyes were watering as I tried to read this. Get well soon bud.

    Prayers sent, best wishes for the holidays too.

    So glad to hear that your vision has improved Matthew!
    Praying that that last little bit will resolve with no problems.

    Merry Christmas Matthew.
    Hope all is going well with the Cataract removal.
    Wont go into much detail here. Had both eyes done some time ago.
    Right eye after the surgery/implant better than 20/20.
    Left eye was botched, could be redone but improvement would likely not be more'n one percent.
    Two things that have helped over time are. #1. Grape Seed & Reseveratrol tablets, one a day.
    #2. Maculhealth (softgels) started on this supplemen tby my Eye Dr, when vision in right eye worsened due to AMD,
    the supplement is used to slow down and/or halt the AMD.
    But, recently found out the damage has been reversed to some extent in my right eye.
    This was an unexpected result that only recently has been seen in some users of the supplement.
    If you're interested, I'll provide more detail on the subject.
    Sure is nice to get the vision back.
    Cheers,
    Bob.
