Thanks Maureen...you know, I have a sister named Maureen, she lives in North Carolina. Anyway, thanks for the kind words, I certainly hope you're right about my potential for a quick come back. And yes, I've spent quite a bit of time reading the forum, my experience, as bad as I though it was, has been a cake walk compared to other I've read. Like I said elsewhere, I'm not done brain dumping either, I still harbor a lot of angry that's slowly passing.
On a positive note, I found some new water-proof medical tape and a different brand of stick on eye patch at Wal-Mart that work really great keeping my left eye shut, so I'm a little less angry about that part of my life. If you look at the cover page on my web site, click the globe at left, you'll see I built a "Recovery Milestone Clock" that counts down the time to the next big event in my treatment...pretty cool idea I think and just making the clock was good therapy for me...I haven't forgotten how to code.
You sound like a very strong woman, most military wives are...personally, I couldn't have done what you did. I was in the military, did 20 years before retiring from the Air Force.
You take care, enjoy your Sunday afternoon and thanks again!
Doc
