A few of you may have noticed me off line last week. And I will be for another week or two. I ended up with a eye problem and lost vision in my right eye. The first two doctors did not have much hope of any recovery, but we were able to get an expert on the surgery to fly in this week and do it for us. Thanks to my loving wife and many of her friends and connections.

I had the surgery Monday, and today, I can see out of the eye now, with a full range of vision. Everything still a blurr at this point, but they tell me, that will correct over next few weeks.

So, I will most likely be off line, for another week or two, or more as my eye heals. My right eye, is (or was) my better eye, so reading with just left eye is somewhat difficult.

On the positive side, my fall semester was in the last week, when I had surgery, so I do not have to work again for 8 week, which will give me plenty of chance to go to my Kunming home and rest.

Sending you prayers and good thoughts, Fr_Chuck for continued good recovery. So very glad to hear that you kept persueing it and found a doctor who could help. Rest and take it easy on your eyes!

Have a wonderful, restful eight weeks, chuck !

It seemed like more than a week! It's nice of you to write to us.

Best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery. Vision is a really big thing. Would scare most of us.

Not been around much myself.. but that's related to a new job and being quite busy, and thank goodness not a health scare.

Wow...terrible news that this happened to you but good news that it seems to be getting better despite originally being told otherwise. Stay strong, keep healing, and rest. There's always time to come back here later.

Glad your getting better. Kepp on the track of mending and we will see you soon.
