A REPORT ON MY EYE PROBLEM (part of the story)
On February 29th, about ten weeks after I had cataract surgery, I experienced a detached retina in my right eye. The strip of the retina that had detached, was reattached, but it detached again a few weeks later. At this point, shingles came back to the eye to create all kinds of havoc: lots of pain and extensive bleeding inside the eye and back of the eye from the surgery and the inflammation. I have also experienced serious dizziness from the heavy dosage of several drugs. Now after four months, the shingles has run its course, so I am able to gradually cut back on the drugs. About one-forth of the eye is blind from the heavy laser treatment to reattach the flap, and vision in the rest of the eye is considerably diminished.
The positive side of this tale of woe is the wonderful support I have received from many people. Your prayers and concern have made a difference. Thank you.
Father Tom
