Subject: [SkunkworksAMA] Put up some originals on Furbid...
...in an effort to raise some of the funds I'm gonna need to pay a
few doctors. My recent visit to the Rand Eye Institute (last week)
was not as good as I'd hoped. Full details will be available on the
next Skunkworks site update (tomorrow night), but, suffice to say,
the left eye cannot be saved. Aside from, as the doctor
said, "massive retinal scarring", there's also a cataract in that
eye, but an operation to remove said cataract would only aggrevate
the retinopathy in that eye. So it's a catch-22 situation. The
right eye is pretty okay, though it does need a little work.
I've still got to get some bloodwork done, and I've got a visit
with a retina specialist on Thursday, so hopefully he can offer some
suggestions or advice.

Damn, Jim I really hope they can save your right eye.
In my life, one of my greatest joys is music.
And I'm going deaf, at present I have lost 20-25% of my hearing and have
tinnitus.
Most times I can ignore the constant "eeeeeeee" sound in my ears.
When I do go totally deaf like my father has, it will be a horrible loss for
me.
So here's hoping, for both of us.
