I talked to Bob and he said he is going back to the hospital Tuesday. He said he is having a hard time seeing out of the same eye again. One thing he said is that it is like looking out of a binocular only backwards where everything appears small and far away, (detached Retina) and I think he said he has blood in the eye. So he says they will be taking his eye out (not completely) and putting a band around it, fixing the retina, and exchanging some or all of the fluid in the eye like last time. What with his other medical problems he sure has been put through the ringer. Thankfully he has Karen keeping a close watch on him and literally keeping his alive.

Thanks for the update. Bob may well be the nicest guy in all of rod buliding. I hope things go well for him.

This is getting scarey. First Emory and now Bob....Two of the nicest and most helpful individuals on the board and they are BOTH having a bad time.

Prayers and good vibes to them both.

Derek
