Strabismus surgery date SET!
« on: August 18, 2006, 04:04:29 pm »
Well my eye muscle surgery is set for September 6th.... a Wednesday.  NERVOUS!! They say they will only operate on my right eye (bad eye)... and that they will cut and move the top muscle but who knows what will happen!

"Who knows what will happen?" 

Everything  good and right and positive  will happen.  The doctors will correct what needs to be corrected, with no additonal problems, from my mouth, to Gods ear's!!!!

Know that you will be in thoughts and prayers on Sept.6th.

hugs and love
