Good lord, WHY ??? Why do our favorite artists have to get through this kind of test ?
I saw your art here and there, Martin, and although I never sent you any message, I really appreciated it.
Anyway, I think Jim's advices are really good : let some time pass, your body knows how to heal. You won't fully recover, but you
might get much, much better in a few monthes. Just consult a doctor from times to times to be sure your eye doesn't heal the wrong
way...
All our thoughts accompany you two, just don't give up, although it is a very hard moment I surely can't fully apprehend.
