nelsonrl Posted April 7, 2009 Share #8 Posted April 7, 2009 Spoke to him last night. In good spirits. Have not been able to reach him today, but he was having a procedure this morning so probably has his phone off. Keep him in your prayers. In respect for his privacy, I will not say much more.

ToRide1 Posted April 8, 2009 Share #9 Posted April 8, 2009 From what I know! Right now he's not a happy camper and it may take days before he knows him self just how he made out. My Wife is a nurse and works for the VA [Government] and from what she told me this was not good and in the last 25 years she has only seen three cases of this and Don's case is difficult to treat, note she has worked acute medical and oncology wards.

Iowawegian Posted April 8, 2009 Share #21 Posted April 8, 2009 I think we all breathed a sigh of relief just seeing you post after your surgery Don. I don't know what it is about surgery, but it's always nice to hear from the patient once it's over. All of us our keeping you and your family in our prayers!

Freebird Posted April 9, 2009 Share #25 Posted April 9, 2009 Headed home today folks. Had post op follow ups yesterday and the rings that they implanted in my eyes appear to be good and correctly located. Had an appointment at the Proton Therapy Center where they formed the mask that I will wear when I return for the treatments. I have some moderate pain in the eye from the surgery but not too bad and it should bet better soon. Have managed to stay off the pain pills except for one time the day of the surgery. Should be home either tonight or tomorrow, depending upon how far we feel like driving today. Will return on the 20th for the radiation treatments. All is going as well as we could have hoped. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
